Murphy, Thanks for the workaround for Mininet 2.0.0 - assigning an IP address to the internal adapter is a crafty idea I have to say. In fact, we should probably add this to the FAQ (on the Mininet wiki, which everyone is encouraged to edit)!!
The current Mininet master branch should (hopefully?) actually fix X11 forwarding so you can run wireshark or firefox in a mininet host xterm out of the box. You're welcome to try it out - just make sure you install socat and/or install Mininet by using 'install.sh -n' . -Bob On Apr 20, 2013, at 7:43 AM, Eric Chou <eric.cho...@gmail.com> wrote: > Right, got it.
