Re: Exactly what breaks in VPC with Tiger?

I wish. Yes, some VPN clients will work with Shared Networking. But
among VPNs at the highest levels of security, you won't find that to be
the case.

My employer uses a one-of-a-kind implementation of the Nortel Contivity
VPN with PKI certificate authentication. It's so unique that the Mac
version of the Nortel Client won't even work with it- hence the need to
use VPC.

This is how our IT people summed it up to us. Keep in mind that sharing
IPs is exactly the kind of activity that VPNs are designed to prevent-
at least at the level of security we're running. Seeing two computers
(i.e. the host Mac and the emulated PC) sharing an IP is, to the VPNs
way of thinking, an indication that it's been hacked.

In sum, I need the Tiger VPC update yesterday! ;)

> BTW: Microsoft does not do any testing on beta products.

Ahhh yes- we call that "biting off one's nose to spite one's face" I'm
glad that not all developers take that tack. We'd be looking at Tiger
updates sometime this Fall!
