Re: Homeseer on a mac...finally

["jeyellok" <johnflamont@xxxxxxxxx>]

Kevin,

There is a shared folder allready setup as part of parallels install and it
worked. Parallels
site states the current beta (the one with the new coherence mode) includes
drag and drop
between OS X & Windows. Not tested it yet and presume this is through
the shared folder.

Networking, USB 2, Mouse, Screen resolutions and drives are all setup to
run elegantly on
the mac. Or more accurately it installs the relavant drivers in Windows to
talk to the
machardware. When i first ran VWS on its own in parallels, it fired-up and
ran its regular
FTP schedule exporting some html and jpegs through the Macbook Pro's
Airport (WiFi) to
my G5 tower and onto tinternet. Seamless (boringly flawless so far). Since
i've installed
Homeseer alongside VWS, the ftp has stopped working, something to do with
sockets and
no time to fix. (ah at last!).
