As soon as you create a network bridge for RPCEmu, the bridge is what's
seen by VRPC and not the Network card to which it is locked.

If you switch off the bridging, then it'll return to the Network card
connection and be okay.

This business is such a PITA I have to Run VRPC on one machine and RPCEmu
on another.

"They" say, you can use both by switching the Bridge On and off as
required, but my experience is, Windows doesn't like that and will quite
often lose the bridge settings completely.

That's good.
