Sorry for the delayed response.
Since my earlier post, I have ditched Vista, and upgraded to Windows 7
Home Premium 32 bit. I'm pleased to confirm that RPCEmu 0.8.9/RO 4.39
and RPCEmu 0.8.9/RO 5.19 continue to run. For both installations
networking is available, and the internet is accessible.
However, there is a problem with ShareFS, in that the RiscPC is not
visible from either RPCEmu, but either RPCEmu is visible from the
RiscPC, and files can be moved in both directions. I suspect that this
has to do with Win7 permissions, with which I am still struggling!
Likewise LanMan98.
In the course of rebuilding the network bridge I discovered that OpenVPN
version 2.2.2 http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/downloads.html is
now available, and that one of the changes listed, is a bug fix in the
Windows TAP-driver.
For me, OpenVPN 2.2.2 results in a stable network bridge, which survives
Windows re-boot. Anyone who has experienced problems with the network
bridge, may wish to try the new version of OpenVPN.
