In my tests (I use VPC with NT Wkst) I cannot get to the MacOS-based web
server (tried different web servers) - not real sure why, but I think it's
because the MacOS is 'sharing' the interface so it may be getting confused.

However, I can get to Windows-based web servers (like running Apache under
VPC) from the MacOS side.

So, to summarize:

1) I cannot go from VPC to MacOS based WWW servers on the same
   machine I am on.

2) I CAN go from the MacOS side to the VPC-based WWW servers
   on the same machine I am on...


I think I'll go back to sleep now...  -Sneex-  :]
