Oh, I forgot to answer your question about network stability. I've put a lot of network traffic through this scheme and haven't dropped connection. I emerged a large number of things and rsynced a bunch of stuff to my coLinux partitions ... about 6 GB worth. It's held up well. --Blake pb...@ta... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leeuw van der, Tim" <tim...@nl...> To: "Blake" <pb...@ta...> Cc: <col...@li...> Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 2004 3:49 PM Subject: Re: [coLinux-users] Network dies after a while 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 ----- 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!
