Doug, in Control Panels->Network Connections, do you have a device
called "TAP" ?

If so, is it Bridged against your current ethernet connection?

Re: [coLinux-users] networking etc.

[Douglas F. <dpf...@lb...>]

Hi Steve,

Yes I have it. I renamed it to "tap" -- the properties panel "connect using:"
field is "TAP-Win32 Adapter", the little icon has a red x through it though. :(

Currently I have the networking set up to "share" the primary internet
connection
& am following the instructions in the networking wiki. I previously tried to
use the bridging method with the same results- nada network, nada errors
too (or at least visible ones). Should I be setting up the bridge while the
colinux daemon is running?

At one point I ran through the entire "driver install" sequence as given, for
example in the Gentoo coLinux howto (networking section):
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/colinux-howto.xml  -- made no difference.
I also reverted winpcap to 3.0 due to the info on that page, again with
no effect.

BTW the gentoo 2.6.1 image had a bad fstab -- I've fixed that & it
mounts correctly. I can send the fixed image back if there's interest--
most people seem to use Debian with coLinux?

Thanks,
Douglas.
