I have an Acer Aspire, and can use all midi, or all RealTracks with no problem.

My older Sony Vaio required that I disable the wireless network, it was easy because it had a front switch.

That said I am running band in a box on an external hard drive that Band in a Box ships on.

And it works fine with both the onboard sound and a Roland external mp3+ usb gizmo.

I played for 4 hours yesterday, and didn't even have the powercord plugged in, just the netbook out to my Roland Keyboard amp with the melody and piano part muted while I played jazz standards on the accoustic piano.
