Crucial tip. Thanks Alexander. Consequently I made these arrangements. (1) Put "tun" in /etc/modules. peter@joule:/home/peter$ grep tun /etc/modules tun (2) Put "@reboot ip tuntap add mode tap tap0" in /etc/crontab. peter@joule:/home/peter$ grep tap /etc/crontab @reboot ip tuntap add mode tap tap0 (3) Reboot. (4) Verify that tap0 is present. peter@joule:/home/peter$ ip link show dev tap0 6: tap0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mo de DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 0a:c1:8e:81:78:aa brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Good. Tomorrow will try a few more steps. Thanks again, P. -- cell: +1 236 464 1479 Bcc: peter at easthope. ca VoIP: +1 604 670 0140
