[WinMac] addendum to accessing PC CD rom discs on a Mac on a network server

Relating to my inquiry yesterday regarding accessing PC formatted cd
roms from a cd rom tower on Macs using Virtual PC, it would seem that
the driver used in the VPC for network adapter matters. The VPC manual
says to use the network driver DEC 21041, the one supplied by VPC, no
matter what type of network adapter card is being used. I think this is
wrong because it won't work with the Asanti Fast Ethernet cards we are
using. Instead the driver that works interestingly enough isn't even
the Fast ethernet driver supplied by Asanti but the regular 10 Base T
driver. The "valid 32 bit operation prompt" goes away. Strange. What
this has to do with "a valid 32 bit operation" is beyond me. Maybe
someone can shed some light.

Thanks.
