On first glance, the setting that identifies the gateway of your TAP 
adapter as "182.168.1.1" instead of 192.168.1.1 is probably a problem.

I have been looking at the messages over the past few weeks. I hate to 
sound insensitive or rude, but there seems to be a general misconception 
that errors/problems under CoLinux are somehow *specific to CoLinux* and 
are not at all distribution specific or general networking problems.

(Yes, I realize there are a few quirks that only affect linux under 
CoLinux).

This being said, PEOPLE, PLEASE LEARN HOW TO USE LINUX (and Windows) 
first, and learn how a network works before attempting to run Linux with 
CoLinux under Windows.

If the bundled Linux distro from the CoLinux installer isn't one you are 
used to, then either learn it or run CoLinux with a distro that you know 
about. (Different distros put config files in different places or have 
very different sets of "default" settings).

Between Linux, Windows, and general networking concepts, ignorance in 
any one will likely cause failure/unsucess.  Such failure is not likely to 
be uniquely related to colinux.

Sorry to rant, but I feel someone should have said this a long time ago.
