Hi These are interesting problems. :) If the real lan happen to be 10.0.2.x, then dosemu wont be able to access it indeed. There is no simple solution for this at the application level, unless massively performing arp proxyfication, thus acting like a bridge for local lan accesses... Or dynamically changing the virtual net to avoid collisions (like you did). But i do not regard this as a problem, in most situations the user wants to access internet, and cares little about local lan access (or at least I do).
About dns: it is a service provided by slirt, and i do not know exactly how it detects dns settings, but it claims to be smart enough to work in most real life situations. :) Taprouter's role only provides the slirt dns via dhcp.
