It works on real hardware and, I believe, on RPCEmu (can > anyone confirm?). I use recent dev builds on VRPC-SA and VRPC-SE and DNS is fine. The only issue I have is that when I connect to the company VPN (Cisco software) the DNS breaks and nothing will resolve. As soon as I disconnect the VPN it works again. When NS DNS lookups fail, the Windows7 apps like Firefox seem to do DNS lookups OK. Since the resolver addresses are as far as I can see identical in both Windows side and RISC OS I don't know how it breaks. Other networking such as connection to mail server and NFS mounts all continue working and its only DNS that seems to be broken. > None of the NetSurf developers have VirtualRPC so we aren't in a position > to investigate this.
