[coLinux-users] Problems with TAP and/or WinPCap driver

[Jason A. <ja...@co...>]

I blew away my old XP install when I got a new hard disk and am setting 
everything back up again.

When I get to the coLinux install, everything looks ok. No errors during 
install.

However, when I set up  my TAP bridge in XP, my network goes away. XP says 
everything is fine. The bridge is active, the real NIC is enabled and no 
errors, but there's no trafic. I've checked the configuration and 
everything looks OK to me. I've even gone and disabled all the offload 
options on my NIC thinking I may be having a problem there. No dice.

As soon as I remove the bridge, the real NIC starts working again and 
trafic flows. No problem.

So I decide to try the winPcap bridge as given in 
http://wiki.colinux.org/wiki/Network

With the option, the real NIC stays active, but I get no trafic out the 
'bridge'. Constantly getting the message "No route to host" for anything 
that tries to use the network.

What kind of troubleshooting do I have available to me for the TAP and/or 
WinPCap drivers? I'm sure/hopefull that this is just a simple little thing 
and I can get this all back up and going the way it was before my fresh 
install!
Thanks
