[coLinux-users] Need clearification on network configuration (tab&slirp)

[Wisut H. <wi...@gm...>]

Hi Group,
 I have 2 cases need to verify that my understanding is correct.

Windows will be called as HOST, The running linux within coLinux will
be called as LINUX.
Both HOST and LINUX LAN interface are bridged using windows bridge.
WinPcap was installed.

case 1: HOST running dhcp-client, LINUX use TAP
- LINUX can see internet and got a LAN dhcp IP.
- LINUX can see HOST in samba workgroup.
- HOST can see LINUX in windows workgroup.
- They both can ping each other, i.e. 2 ways communation (HOST <> LINUX).

case 2: HOST running dhcp-client, LINUX use slirp
- LINUX can see internet and got a HOST dhcp IP.
- LINUX can see HOST in samba workgroup.
- HOST can not see LINUX in windows workgroup.
- They both can not ping each other, i.e. 1 ways communation (HOST < LINUX).

case 3: HOST got a static IP, LINUX use slirp
- LINUX can see internet and got a HOST dhcp IP.
- LINUX can see HOST in samba workgroup.
- HOST can not see LINUX in windows workgroup.
- They both can not ping each other, i.e. 1 ways communation (HOST < LINUX).

Are there some misunderstanding ? I am currently using case 1 because
if I use another case my HOST will not see LINUX. Especially when I
move to case 3 I had a problem with they samba network share. Making
LINUX see the internet world is not hard, but making HOST see it's
LINUX is.

Other cases example is very welcome.
