Thanks for the advice Peter. Out of coincedence I tried the driver you reccomended last night but with no success :( I have re-downloaded jboss-portal-2.4.2 and jboss-4.2.0.GA for the SA to give it one last shot on the VPC. The only reason I am using the VPC is I can distribute it to others to play with, but, will give in if it doesn't work!
