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.
