I'm using PearPC as a non-administrator user under
WindowsXP.

- Networking works correctly when running PearPC as
Administrator
- It works when running it from normal user with RunAs
command (ran as Administrator),
- It fails when running it as normal user with the
following error :

main() caught exception : Opening TAP connection failed

    I have no idea about this. Looks more like a windows / tap
    problem than a pearpc problem.

    I traced CreateFile function error message and it's a
    "Permission denied" one.
    I guess you're right, it's related to the TAP driver.
