RE: [coLinux-users] Up and running at last

[peter g. <plu...@bi...>]

basically there are two totally different ways of doing networking with
colinux

TAP gives you a fake network adaptor that you can do whatever you like with
(put it in the windows bridge use ICS with it etc)

WINPCAP attaches to an existing network adaptor and makes colinux appear to
be a seperate machine on the network that adaptor is connected too

as for the correct name it was originally the adaptor driver name however
this caused problems for people with two adaptors of the same brand in their
computer so it was changed to using the connection name. Im unsure exactly
when this change was made.
