Re: [coLinux-users] bridge

[Ken P. <ke...@gm...>]

with your all help, I got the bridge network problem resolved, here is
how I make it work.

set coLinux MAC address same as wireless, then coLinux can get a good
dhcp address and

Internet connection is ok, the coLinux network config is like this,

    <network index="0" type="tap" mac="00:16:CF:45:F8:F4" />

The 00:16:CF:45:F8:F4 is my wireless MAC.

Below is the screen that how coLinux get a good dhcp address.

Sending on   Socket/fallback/fallback-net
DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7
DHCPOFFER from 10.10.10.1
DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPACK from 10.10.10.1
bound to 10.10.10.11 -- renewal in 3600 seconds.
done.

but the XP's Inetnet connection is lost, and the Bridge doesn't have a
ip address, see below,

Ethernet adapter Network Bridge:

        Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
        Description . . . . . . . . . . . : MAC Bridge Miniport
        Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 02-FF-D0-D4-C0-D0
        Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes
        Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes
        Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 169.254.158.113
        Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

The wireless network signal strengh is very good, I tried to reboot
the machine because wiki

said someone has similar problem with DELL laptop and I'm also using
Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN

Mini-Card, but reboot doesn't help.

then I tried another wiki resolution "Bridge May Not Work With a
Non-Promiscuous Mode Network

Adapter" like this,


netsh bridge set adapter 2 forcecompatmode=enable

C:\>netsh bridge show adapter

----------------------------------------------------------------------
 ID AdapterFriendlyName         ForceCompatibilityMode
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  1 coLinux Connection          disabled
  2 Wireless Network Connection enabled
  3 Local Area Connection       disabled
----------------------------------------------------------------------

now everything is ok, coLinux & Bridge both get their working dhcp
address, and Inetnet

connection is also ok. Thanks to you all.
