Re: [coLinux-devel] private networks between colinux and windows

[Ian B. <ib...@gm...>]

Ok, I've been reading these threads for a while, and I really don't

adapter. Both give you direct access between your host system and
coLinux, whether or not the external interface is plugged in or not.
Why use one over the other?
