[coLinux-users] Up and running at last

[Simon T. <tur...@ca...>]

Hi all,

Windows 2000 and CoLinux 6.2pre3; phew, what a nightmare.  I seem to 
have got things running now.  My desire was for a bridged connection as 
my company's VPN software plays silly beggars with ICS.  My problem 
seemed to stem from the documentation on the wiki with respect to 
setting up bridged connections.  Seems everyone else is using Windows XP 
and the native bridging that it provides.

So, a few questions so I can update the documentation with some clearer 
instructions.

Under Win2k, is the TAP-Win32 device required for a bridged connection? 
  The documentation seems to imply that it is not.

Which is the correct name to use for the connection.  Again, the 
documentation (README) suggests getting the name from the 'Connect 
Using' label in the connection properties.  This cannot be true as I 
didn;t get this working until I specified 'Local Area Connection' i.e. 
my default connection as the one to bridge using.

Answer these and I'll update the docs so noone else has to go through 
this trial-and-error situation :)

All the best,

si.
