Re: [coLinux-devel] Network forwarding...

Actually, come to think of it, the SLiRP setup does ALMOST what you want. Its an outgoing (AFAIK) connection only, and it requires no installed software (PCAP/TAP). I THINK it allows for incoming connections via port forwarding, but again, you'll have to set up a piece of software to open those ports automatically. I know what you're saying, though... you want the application on Linux to act like its an application on the Windows box, where it just listens for ports, and thats it. You'd probably have more success (as of right now) running the application out of Cygwin than out of a coLinux box to do what you want to do. I'm not advocating Cygwin as a solution to coLinux, but I'm saying in this particular situation, it would do what you specially want to do better, most likely.
