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_Fl
y

  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
