Hi Luigi, > It's just a naming issue, vmnetX is the network-device name of /dev/tapX. > (the ip-equivalent thing, "tun", has the same name for both the network > device and the device entry in the filesystem. As a matter of fact the > latter is totally arbitrary so "tun" perhaps should be called "vmnet"...) But when I do a ifconfig, only tapX devices are there, where there is no vmnetX devices. And when I set up the bridge with vmnetX, the kernel will complain that the vmnetX devices do not exist. Do I need to perform a makedev on it first to create the devices? If so, do they have a special major and minor number that I should assign it to? Bernie ---------------------------------------- This mail sent through www.mywaterloo.ca
