I never had any problem doing both OS/2 & VPC at the same time.
But because of sniffing issues the OS/2 WiFi driver can only handle VPC sessions in "virtual" mode. So you just hook into your standard TCP/IP traffic via NAT.
That might not be compatible with some client/server SW that doesn't like NAT, but standard Web Browsers and the like shouldn't mind.
 
Now since wired Ethernet should hav none of these issues.
Maybe you just didn't have enough bandwith for both?

Question. Can it handle Virtual PC traffic at the same time as the Base OS/2 connection? I do recognize that this plugs in to the ethernet port on the laptop so one would think so, BUT consider that I tried a D-Link G730 AP <http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=346> that is also USB Powered and plugs in to the lap top via an ethernet cable, but it would ONLY handle EITHER the Base OS/2 traffic, or the VPC traffic. Not BOTH at the same time. (Anybody know why?) Whereas when the same ethernet cable is plugged into my 110 volt powered WGE 101 bridge instead (<http://www.netgear.com.au/products/prod_details.asp?prodID=209>), then all traffic is carried from either the real OS/2 side and the VPC sessions. So, has anybody used the ASUS with a laptop running one or more Virtual Machines in addition to the base OS/2 traffic? Anyway, in the case of VPC, there are other design problems of the virtual switch and general wireless drivers that make it difficult if not impossible to use built in Wi-Fi.
