[coLinux-users] Problem with TAP win 32 adapter

[Abhrajit D. <Abh...@mi...>]

Hi,

I was trying to connect to internet via colinux.I installed the TAP win 32
adapter.During booting it shows that TAP is enabled and I can see the
connection icon in connected state.But when I try to run the command apt-get
update it gives the error "something wicked happened while resolving
...http://debian.org etc...

It gives a series of these errors and so I am unable to install any
packages.I am a new colinux user so if someone knows the issue please help.

Regards

Abhri

SLiRP is better for your first use. Let TAP installed, you can use it
later as eth1 and fast host only access.

Please use "eth0=slirp" in coLinux config.
Setup network eth0 inside running linux as described in wiki:
http://colinux.wikia.com/wiki/Network#Reconfigure_Network_Interface_On_the_Fly

  ifconfig eth0 10.0.2.15 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.2.255
  route add default gw 10.0.2.2
  echo "nameserver 10.0.2.3" > /etc/resolv.conf

For permanently store, setup SLiRP in Debians config file, see
http://colinux.wikia.com/wiki/Network#Debian

# file: /etc/network/interfaces
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
  address 10.0.2.15
  network 10.0.2.0
  broadcast 10.0.2.255
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  gateway 10.0.2.2

I have set slirp now as instructed. But still the "something wicked happened"
errors are showing when I type apt-get update.

Check your network step by step.
- Is network usable from windows?
  Open a command prompt and type "ping sf.net"
- Start coLinux. Is network still usable on windows side?
  Try "ping sf.net" on windows again.
- Check eth0 parameters inside the running Linux.
  Type "ifconfig", you should see the settings for eth0:
    inet addr:10.0.2.15  Bcast:10.0.2.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
  Other values would not run. Typicaly mistake would be the broadcast.
- Check the route inside Linux, type "route -n"
  The last line must be:
    0.0.0.0  10.0.2.2  ...  eth0
- Try to get a web page with such simple command:
    "wget google.com"
  You should see
    HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK
  and finaly got the index.html file.

- Last, I hope you we talk about "Debian 4.0" here?
Mirrors for Debian 3.x must change to get updates. Please remove all
lines from "/etc/apt/sources.list" and replace with:

    deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-archive woody main
    deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian-archive woody main

If you can not ping external sites, I'm afraid, you have a hard
configured firewall from your departments LAN.IT.

This let me assume, you can only surf via proxy?

If you know that you use proxy with your webserver, than must setup
proxy also in coLinux. Type this on linux prompt, with your personal
settings shurely:
  export http_proxy=http://username:pas...@pr...:port/
  export ftp_proxy=http://username:pas...@pr...port/

After this proxy setup, "wget google.com" and apt-get should work.

More hints about apt-get setup:
