Hi Martin,
I did exactly what you said but I'm still unable to connect my coLinux to
Internet using the VPN.
Here's what I did:

My real network card's IP address: 10.112.7.224
Gateway: 10.112.7.7
Net Mask: 255.255.255.0

I assigned the IP 10.112.7.253 to my TAP adapter in windows (Net mask:
255.255.255.0).

Then made the following settings to the /etc/network/interfaces file of
coLinux:

auto lo eth0 eth1

iface eth0 inet static
    address 10.112.7.254
    netmask 255.255.255.0

iface eth1 inet static 
   address 10.112.7.224
   netmask 255.255.255.0

Also my default.colinux.xml file reads as 

    <network index="0" type="tap" name="TAP"></network>
   <network index="1" name="VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter"
type="bridged"></network>

Please let me know, if I am making a mistake anywhere because the above
settings doesn't work for me.

Regards,
Praveen

Subject: [coLinux-users] VPN access problem.

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.

Discussed back in May on the developers list was the issue of the
failure to run the tests for Perl installation on Gentoo. I'm very new
to Gentoo (but old to Redhat), so I'm having a bear of getting this to
install. It gets to the lib/Benchmark after failing the HiRes time
stuff.   I'm using 0.6.1.  Any pointers on getting this to go?

Just kill the Perl process running the lib/Benchmark test to allow the
installation to proceed.

The long-term fix is to upgrade to the latest coLinux snapshot which
has fixes for the system time issues that the Perl self tests are
(correctly!) detecting.

Subject: [coLinux-users] Re: VPN access problem.

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.

Regards,
Martin

Is it possible to somehow processor limit how much CPU coLinux gets? On
my Athlon64 box, it gobbles up all it can. On my P4 desktop with
Hyperthreading, it's getting 50% cpu which I guess is a byproduct of the
hyperthreading enabled.

I don't think it is possible to get 2 ip addresses
associated with one wireless link. Hence bridging does
not work with wireless interface. I have coLinux
working with XP using ICS on wireless link. Because of
that I have also reverted to using ICS with wired LAN
too.

Colinux runs as a normal windows application, so it uses what it can as
any other windows application, unless it is idle.

Right now, it is coded to use only one of the cpu's, so on HT machines,
it seems to use just 50% CPU. This number is not very reliable, as HT
machines are not true SMP computers.

This is because there were some reports of colinux not doing well with
HT machines. It seems to be fixed now, but I don't think it was tested
yet.

If you want to limit CPU usage for colinux, you can do the same as for
other windows applications: use the task manager and decrease it's
priority. But note that you probably will not gain anything with it.

If you decide you want to test if the HT code is working now, define a
global environment variable COLINUX_NO_SMP_WORKAROUND as "Y", i.e.,
"COLINUX_NO_SMP_WORKAROUND=Y".

~Nuno Lucas

Only idea I have is to try to comment the initrd stuff and see if it
works that way.
