Re: [coLinux-users] Problem with TAP win 32 adapter

[Henry N. <Henry.Ne@Arcor.de>]

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
