Re: [coLinux-users] Colinux on a closed network

[Josep M. A. S. <ja...@pa...>]

Yes, it is possible (That was my main use of colinux, until i changed my job).

This is how i did it:

Installed colinux, (in that case, with a debian image with samba and controlled
via webmin), set it with TunTAP with an IP on the same subnet, made a bridge
with windows between the hardware ethernet and the TunTAP device, and
everything worked perfectly (well, i had a problem writing to windows
partitions, but that was solved in the 7.x versions)


That is one option. The other is using the pcap-bridge. Supposedly, the TunTAP
way should be better, but i didn't do any measurements on that.

Don't try to do it with slirp, except if you're adventurous. You would have to
disable the service in windows, without closing the ports themselves, and open
the appropiate ports in the slirp configuration.
