Virtualization with coLinux

Networking from the Linux perspective, when installation is complete, the coLinux of networking support is already available.

During the installation process has loaded the TAP driver. TAP driver is the one to the host operating system manages the Ethernet device connected to user space. TAP driver allows the guest operating system to write the raw Ethernet frames into a virtual Ethernet devices (user space). Then, the user space of virtual Ethernet devices to Ethernet frames passed to the host operating system real Ethernet devices. Read the opposite of the process. Note that the TAP driver passes the Ethernet frames, and TUP driver handling the InternetProtocol (IP) frame. In order to support the TAP driver, host operating systems must share the available Ethernet devices. In order to enable sharing in WindowsXP, from open NetworkConnections Panel ControlPanel. Select the active local area connection, and then open the properties. Select the Advanced tab, select the check boxes for the allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection to connect (see Figure 6). Figure 6-enabled network devices share of the local area connection properties for the network device shared local area connection properties for the src = "http://linux.chinaitlab.com/uploadfiles_7565/200705/20070526102121923.jpg" width = 367 > enable a network share, you can start coLinux and as usual using the network. Figure 7 shows the results of the ping command, this indicates network is normal. Figure 7 using the TAP driver, use a shared network device for coLinux is transparent with just a little configuration, coLinux can provide networking features.
