You add an IP address to your system; with the changes, 9vx creates a virtual network device. You assign the IP address to the 9vx virtual network interface and it does the right thing. It isn't NAT, it's passive traffic listening / injecting. I still have some work to do to get the tap driver running, but it's been on the back burner. --dho > Cheers, > Mathieu > > >
