Re: [coLinux-devel] Some problems with modules, fonts and TAP networking

[<ch...@to...>]

scp is probably the easiest way to copy files from windows and is usually
th e one I use. But that depends on # 3 networking also setting up samba
is probably the easiest to use every day once you get it configured also
depends on #3

The gentoo image is configured to use dhcp I assume from below you are
using the TAP connection. If you do not have your internet conection set
up to be shared then your windows host will not be providing DHCP so you
need to setup gentoo with a static address or share your internet
connection in windows. That is my best guess based on what you said.
