will this apply to XP PRO? let me know.
cuz i did have a look at this page not long ago and thats where i ended up
with VPN installed. (all it did was use my dialup modem.)(im using a cable
modem for internet access so it did not get me far.) i will attempt to only
install the loopback stuff and ill let you know how it goes. (I think
netbios is causing the conficts that i mentioned in my last post) even
though netbios is disabled.
thank you.
