[coLinux-devel] Bridged and TAP networking

[Henry V. B. <hvo...@ec...>]

I have 2 questions/comments about colinux networking.
1.) I searched through the mailing list and don't know if this has been
addressed, but when using the TAP network driver and after using a fair
amount of internet bandwidth under colinux, Windows (Win 2k SP4) seems to
lose it's network connection(can't reach any external IPs).  However,
networking is still functional under colinux(including internet).  Window=
s
functions correctly again when colinux is rebooted or shutdown.  This
happened when when using Gentoo emerge a few times.  Has anyone else had
this issue?

2.) I've tried both the TAP and Bridged network drivers, and have noticed
a performance difference between the two especially when using a VNC X
session.  It seemed noticeably faster with the TAP driver which makes
sense as there are probably a few less software (driver) layers to go
through.  Has anyone tried, or is it possible, to use both interfaces at
the same time?  The bridged could be used for external traffic or
services, as windows ICS is a pain to get configured, and the TAP driver
for VNC or Cygwin X sessions.
