Sigh. No matter how many times I re-read before sending, it doesn't matter. Let me expand on this:

(As a reminder, going through this rather than putting >simh directly on the physical interface is what enables your virtual VAX and >your Debian host to talk to each other.) Actually, of course, br0 is a bridge device that lets me connect tap0 to my physical interface. I have this in /etc/network/interfaces: # The bridge interface auto br0 iface br0 inet static bridge_ports eth1 address X.Y.Z.3 broadcast X.Y.Z.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway X.Y.Z.1 That is, if you current specify a device (like eth1) directly, transfer its settings to br0 and attach the original NIC as a bridge port. [Or change instances of "eth1" to "br0", then add the "bridge_ports eth1" line.] Then continue as I originally described... Cheers, Scott
