Ok, that might make WinXP bridging work, I'll give that a try... Guess = it wont work with WinPCAP then, too bad! :-) Is promiscuous mode something that the driver remembers, or do you need = to set it every time you boot? And if you do a lot of downloads from coLinux (like apt-get upgrade, or = emerge --update world), the network doesn't die after a while? B/c = that's what happens to me with the TAP driver. I tried updating the TAP driver to the 8.0 from the just-released = OpenVPN 2.0b4, but that doesn't work at all, so I'll have to downgrade. greetings, --Tim -----Original Message----- From: Blake [mailto:pb...@ta...] Sent: dinsdag 8 juni 2004 21:14 To: Leeuw van der, Tim Cc: col...@li... Subject: Re: [coLinux-users] Network dies after a while I'm not sure of the modes. I use the TAP driver and use XP's "Network Bridging" between the TAP device and my wireless card. I had to set promiscuous mode for the wireless nic for things to work consistently. --Blake pb...@ta... ----- Original Message -----=20 From: "Leeuw van der, Tim" <tim...@nl...> To: "Blake" <pb...@ta...> Cc: <col...@li...> Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 2004 2:32 PM Subject: RE: [coLinux-users] Network dies after a while Hi, I remember reading something about that on the Wiki, but forgot about = it... thanks for reminding me... If you don't mind me asking, was that trick supposed to work with TAP, or with BRIDGE mode of coLinux networking? greetings, --Tim -----Original Message----- From: Blake [mailto:pb...@ta...] Sent: dinsdag 8 juni 2004 18:30 To: Leeuw van der, Tim Cc: col...@li...

I'm using WindowsXP Pro SP1 with all latest updates, and coLinux 0.6.1 = with gentoo deluxe 2g. I also have a personal firewall installed: sygate 3.5 (corporate policy to have it running). The only networking-option that seems to work for me at all, is using = the TAP driver and a proxy-server (I installed FreeProxy 3.72, which seems = to dislike the wget ftp client -- but that's another issue). The Briding option in XP doesn't work for me, I have no clue why, but it doesn't give me an IP address on the bridged driver and all my = networking dies. Internet Connection Sharing? I'd rather not try, but I doubt it will = make any difference compared to the problems I currently have. coLinux bridged networking doesn't work for me either, b/c my NICs are wireless... So I have to use the TAP driver with a proxy server. I've configured the windows side with a static IP address of 10.10.10.1, = and the linux side with a static IP of 10.10.10.2. FreeProxy does HTTP = proxying on 8080, and SOCKS proxying on 1080. Now my problem is: after some time, or perhaps rather after some amount = of traffic, the network dies. Not the connections that run over the TAP = driver, they seem to perhaps work, but all external networking dies. My = web-browser in windows no longer manages to load any page. No amount of starting/stopping FreeProxy makes any difference. But as soon as I stop coLinux, my networking is alive again. When I restart coLinux I usually still have a working network, although = it seems not always. At which point I perhaps have to reboot... Does anyone else have similar problems? regards, --Tim ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: GNOME Foundation Hackers Unite!
