I didn't even do the aliasing part (perhaps it's done automatically?). I
just took my RH7.1 installation and added Win4Lin. I run a DHCP server on
my two ethernet cards, and Windows automatically obtained an IP address
using that. Of course I did have to do the iptables -t NAT -a
POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE (2.4 equiv to ipchains -MASQ) as well.

Subject: Re: [Win4Lin-users] [HOWTO] Success with VNET and single IP
address
What's the purpose of the ethertap device? I've done this type of setup
many times, even with win4lin 3.0 and vmware and I've never done the
ethertap.
All I did on my machine at work was to set up an alias on eth0:0 to
192.168.0.1. (eth0 was a real ip address) Then I configured the
vmware/win4lin(either works) to be on that subnet and set 192.168.0.1 as
the default gateway for windows. I had to tell it where to go for dns as
well. Then I simply turned on forwarding (echo "1" >
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forwarding), and added the following ipchains rule:
ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 -d 0.0.0.0 -j MASQ
and all works well.
On my home machine, ppp0 is the internet, so I don't need any aliases.
Just set my hosts's ip for eth0 to be everyone's gateway.
cheers,
Michael
