I tried following instructions in the 1.5.2 end user manual for using this. Told be br0 was already there. This is, of course, true, since I put it there using instructions posted on this list a while back. I have a tap0 using iptables and a tap0 using bridging available. So no further entries in /etc/inn
I set up the vbox0 interface as instructed. Restarted vboxnet. If would not start br0. I manually started it using the startup script. Now the vbox0 did not give any error messages. Cool. How do I go over to the new methods? These scripts have been around for ages. Here is the tap/iptables script: (I am using a pptp ADSL interface so these things work off ppp0 rather than eth0!) sudo modprobe tun sudo tunctl -t tap0 -u david sudo ifconfig tap0 10.0.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE #sudo ifconfig tap0 up Here is the bridged version: sudo modprobe tun sudo tunctl -t tap0 -u david sudo chmod 666 /dev/net/tun #sudo ip link set tap0 up #sudo ip addr add 10.0.2.2/32 dev tap0 sudo ifconfig tap0 10.0.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up sudo chmod g+w /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/tap0/proxy_arp sudo echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/tap0/proxy_arp sudo chmod g+w /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward sudo echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward sudo parprouted ppp0 tap0 echo "tap0 bridge started" (There is no br0 here so it must have be placed elsewhere. NOT in the /etc/netwoking/interfaces. Probably should base setup on the tap0 instructions rather than the bridge instructions?) _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
