Virtual PC + Windows 2000 + BT Openworld

[Clive]

I seem to have a real problem. I am using a mac, with virtual PC on it running Windows 2000, and connecting to the Internet with BT openworld ADSL.

The problem is that when I test the site (or use the wizard) under 'Adanced Setup' I get very unpredictable results.

Sometimes it works fine and tests successfully, other times it will just hang for a few minutes - usually around the 'testing write permissions' bit. I have made sure my permissions are correct - and besides it works occasionally!

I thought I'd upload the store anyway, and it will upload a few files, then change the permissions, and then unpredicatably it will just hang again. Minutes later I am told of the timeout, and I continue. Eventually it all uploads.

Any ideas anyone?

Many thanks

Clive

Hi Clive....don't know but I'm using a Mac and have done a majority of the programming for a site under Virtual PC. I do find that it can be slow when uploading but I have never experienced problems. What kind of connection to the internet do you have?
