Glenn,
I'm petty sure that if you configure your VP as 'Shared' network then
the Mac will handle the traffic, including the firewall contol.
On the other hand, there is an excellent Mac product - OmniGraffle
that imports MS-Visio files and you can export your file back to MS-
Visio. You can can find more info at - http://www.omnigroup.com/

Cheers,
Peder

Because I need to run one particular Windows app on my G5 iMac (MS
Visio), I am now running Virtual PC (v 7.02 with XP Professional
2002 SP 2). Not ideal, but necessary for my business.
My question relates to security. I'm pretty confident about Mac
security, but with Windows running within it, I'm interested in
what security precautions to take.
For example, should the Windows firewall be on? Do I need to
install the regular Windows OS updates.
Note I don't run any Windows email, so consider anti-virus to be
unnecessary. I have only had to use Explorer once, to access a
trusted site that doesn't support Safari/Firefox - so I also
consider anti-spyware to be unnecessary also.
Note I'm connected to the Internet via ADSL with a NAT router. So
I'll raise the other niggling question - without Virtual PC
running, should the Mac firewall be on or not? I've heard
conflicting positions on whether the NAT router is adequate
protection or not.
Any advice appreciated.
Regards,
Glenn.
