A: By default, every UML instance uses the same MAC address so ethernet can't distinguish the two hosts. You need to assign each UML a unique MAC address by specifying it as part of the eth0 argument, like so: "eth0=tuntap,tap1, FE:FD:00:00:00:01". and i can acknowledge this, as far as i remember. i always specify the mac adress on the commandline - being "safe" this way. so - what is right ? is there differnt neworking code in different uml versions ? roland ----- Original Message ----- From: "henrique" <hen...@fu...> To: "roland" <for...@gm...> Cc: <use...@li...> Sent: Sunday, June 06, 2004 8:42 PM Subject: Re: [uml-user] Question about uml_switch > > Alex, > > you hit a little "uml annoyance" - uml itself doesn`t assign a unique > > MAC-Address to itself at startup.
