Yeah, I had a bit of a hard time at first as well. I'm not exactly sure why it didn't work right off the bat and am pretty sure that my twiddling and untwiddling settings didn't really help in getting things working (other than the "netsh b" thing). I don't use DHCP for the colinux instance, I use a static address. With this XP bridging scheme, XP hides the MAC of the TAP adapter behind my wireless' MAC and so the outside world will only see the wireless' MAC ... not good for DHCP or anything that relies on reverse arp (nothing that I can think of). It's the only drawback I can see with this scheme, I haven't figured out how to get around this yet. I'll probably end up just sending a DHCP option from the coLinux client to the DHCP server and basing the DHCP server's address assignment on this option. --Blake pb...@ta... ----- Original Message ----- From: "cgmelt" <cg...@xa...> To: "Blake" <pb...@ta...> Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 2004 4:02 PM Subject: Re: [coLinux-users] Network dies after a while > > Hello, > I'm so happy i found someone who did that, > I am trying to setup bridge between my wrireless card and the TAP > driver, and I just can't succeed. > When I bridge between them, everything stops to work, seems like the > "Bridge" has no access > to the real network (DHCP doesn't work), > maybe you can help? > what should I do to fix this. > > thanks in advance ;) > > Blake wrote: > > >I'm not sure of the modes.
