Vicom's product relies on DHCP, and VPC does not support DHCP on both
the mac IP stack and the windows IP stack.

Stustainable Software's IPNetRouter does not use TCP/IP, so it should
be fine. $89, US, for the product, downloadable from the web.

It does not offer the firewall capabilities, but I don't know that you
need that.
