Hi Tom
We were in the process of setting up a bridge when I saw the 
BridgeServer questions
I tried the Windows version today but although it appears to create a 
bridge it cannot then get any services through so vic sits there with a 
blank screen waiting for video. Has anyone got this version to work yet. 
Or should I continue with plan A and get a LINUX machine running?
I've attached the log file.
All the best
Mike
