[coLinux-users] Windows 2000 not working. Tried everything

[Luco <luc...@gm...>]

Hi,

I actually posted this on the dev list, but this may be a better
location. Although it is a tough one ;)

I have installed andLinux and enabled connection sharing on the physical
 ethernet. The tap adaptor is currently on DHCP. Applications try but
fail to connect to 192.168.11.150:81. The ethernet is currently static
at 180.*

I've tried every possible combination of adjustments to my network
settings for both adaptors, and disabled the firewall altogether but
still no luck.

Of course this is on 2000. On XP everything works immediately and perfectly.

After the first installation attempt, I received the following message
on subsequent attempts:

"Unable to execute file:
sc

ShellExecuteEx failed; code 2
The system cannot find the file specified"

Running a linux ap, such as Thunar produces the error:

"could not launch 'Thunar': could not connect to 192.168.11.150:81"

I've read most of the list archives, wiki, and website, and there isn't
much more I can think of to do.

Interestingly (in the bad way), if I set the Tap adapter to DHCP,
disable it, diable ICS on the ethernet, enable the tap, enable ICS on
the ethernet, the tap will be set a static IP. Is this the cause of the
problem?

Thanks
