Virtual PC Problems...

Hey,

I'm fortunate enough to be the only Mac User in the office, and we use a project management program that works only on PCs, so I have to access it through IE web browser, in Virtual PC.

Virtual PC is relatively very slow, and when I'm in it it causes my shared networks and drives to become disconnected in MacOSX... is this normal?

Is there a healthy alternative to Virtual PC?

Are you on PPC or Intel based Mac at work?

Intel > Fusion, Boot Camp, Parallels, VirtualBox, Qemu ...

PPC > Qemu?

Try disabling IPv6 in Mac OS X System Prefs and see if that makes any difference. In some virtualization software that speeds things up.
 
PPC mac. Is there a solution to the Mac shared drives disconnecting when I'm running Virtual PC?
 
You may want to play around with the network settings for your virtual machine. Perhaps you're using "Shared Networking" which is causing conflicts with the mounted drives. You may want to try switching that to "Virtual Switch" (or vice-versa) and see if that helps.
