Right, a bit of time to play...
I was intrigued...
I took the laptop networking off WiFi and put it on a cable, uninstalled
Open VNP 2.1.3 then after a cold boot installed it again.
Did all the required config stuff/bridging etc.

So now I still have Win networking working okay.

I now have ShareFS networking between the Laptop RPCEmu and the two Real
RPCs on the LAN, but ShareFS will not work between the Laptop RPCEmu and
any RPCEmus on other PCs or V-V (Other RPCEmus talk to each other okay).

They show in the ShareFS Discs window (On all the RPCEmus) and can be
double clicked to the icon bar, but then when clicked on won't connect.

FWIW. All Win-PC machines are running as the same named Workgroup.

Anyone have any thought on why it'll connect with Real RO but not any
virtuals?

Thanks
Dave
