It is essentially what svista is doing for its networking support. Do you have a physical card in the machine associated to LAN0? IOW, I have 2 pcmcia cards - one wirelese, one wired, and they are not in the machine at the same time and I am wondering if the card would have to be present though not in use otherwise. Unfortunately, my router doesn't allow me to play with the routing in it (going to have to get a new router I think). Andy Yes, LAN0 and yes you would need a card in there - but not a pcmcia one for the LAN as VPC does not see the card slots. Or so I was told. Stan seems to have got virtual switch working with his. Virtual switch works fine with my wired card. it doens't work with wireless, wireless cards can't go into promiscuous mode. For use with a wireless card requires using NAT. This is not ideal with my situation as I need to put a socks server on the windows system and connect to it from the host OS/2 system. I can do this fine with the wired card but I don't remember the registry settings to open the NAT ports so I can't do it with my wireless card.
