Glad to hear that it's working.

One thing to keep in mind with VPC: It's just like another computer (at
least for the most part). This means that it cannot use the same TCP/IP
stack that your Mac is using. The best thing to do is check with your ISP on
the availability of two static IP addresses. Use one for the Mac in the
TCP/IP Control Panel, and one for VPC in it's Network Control Panel. With
the two TCP/IP addresses, you can use both the VPC "computer" and the Mac at
the same time on the same 'net connection.
