[coLinux-devel] Getting networking to work

[Jason A. P. <pat...@pc...>]

I've successfully downloaded the latest pre-release from the SourceForge 
site and gotten it setup along with the 1GB image file for Debian.  I 
found an e-mail on the devel mailing list detailing how to setup the TAP 
device to work with Internet Connection Sharing.  It also mentioned 
about how to setup /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/hosts so lo was 
configured properly and localhost could be ping'ed, etc.  I got all that 
working except for there seems to be a connectivity issue between 
Windows and Linux.  I can ping the Linux side from Windows just fine.  
ifconfig under Windows gives me 192.168.0.1 for the TAP connection and 
my network card under Windows seems to be retaining its LAN IP address.  
On the Linux side, I get 192.168.0.40 for eth0, but I cannot ping 
192.168.0.1.  I can't figure out what to do next to get this to work.  
Maybe the TAP driver is not working correctly?  I don't have any 
firewalling or port filtering in place under Windows that I can tell, 
except that I am running ZoneAlarm.  Could this be causing 
interference?  I've selected 'Yes' whenever it attempts to do the pings 
or other connection attempts.  I'll disable it and try again and let you 
know.
