I'm a little different. I run both mac & windows 2k on my computer & have them both running LW. Strange huh! You guessed it, I'm using Virtual PC. They are networked together but I still haven't fathomed how to get them talking to each other. I can't even seem to browse the other. So you're doing better than me. My issue I don't need to explain (have same ip no. & port forwarded for the mac. More complicated when it's the same comp.)

I have a link for setting up a static ip instructions for Linksys. But if you're concerned then that's ok. Get it wrong & it can be a nuisance!

Remember that if you want to browse or DC then it's always best to have Chat enabled on both.
