[coLinux-users] VPN access problem.

[Praveen K. J. N. <pra...@no...>]

Hi,
I have successfully installed coLinux (Debian) on my Win 2k PC. I used the
bridged method of connection.
Everything thing works fine and I can ping the other PC's of my network from
coLinux but the problem is that
I use VPN to connect to the Internet. 
With coLinux, if I enable the connection sharing of the real network card I
am no longer able to login to my VPN
account. Please help me in connecting to the Internet with VPN so that I can
download and Install packages
like Apache, PHP and Mysql.

Thanks in advance.

Hallo,

there's a connection setup option that could help you. Do not use 
connection sharing on your real card. instead use following in you 
colinux-config.xml:

     <network index="0" type="tap" name="TAP CoLinux" />
     <network index="1" type="bridged" name="your real network card 
connection" />

and in /etc/interfaces (on colinux-debian) add line

auto lo eth0 eth1

maybe you have just to add eth1 to that line

the next is to have this line there:
iface eth0 inet static
	address 192.168.1.2
	netmask 255.255.255.0

iface eth1 inet static
	address 192.168.0.40
	netmask 255.255.255.0

and in windows configure IP for your TAP Colinux with 192.168.1.1 and 
same netmask.

It works for me, it can for you.

You can also swap those adapters, you don't need to have anyone assigned 
as 1st.

Martin
