I use VPC to access a web based imaging program. Works great now. I
read that Virtual switch will not work with Tiger. If I use shared
networking as an alternative, I can connect to my VPN site, but cannot
connect to the web page I need using IE. Using shared networking, I
can connect to web pages without problem, just not using the VPN. Again
virtual switch works fine, but I fear I will lose this ability with
Tiger. Any suggestions?

Wait until Microsoft fixes VPC before you upgrade to 10.4. To much of
what I use is on the "broken, awaiting fix" list, so I'm waiting as well.

I would wait to upgrade to Tiger until Microsoft makes VPC compatible
with it. I use VPC/XP and as of now there is no way I can get to the
web. I just hope Microsoft gets the job done soon!
