Hi Alexey, I read through most of the points listed in the bug track #18. While I agree that the current documentation leaves a lot to be desired, I disagree with taking an approach of sniffing packets ala WireShark. I prefer to have layers of abstraction which is what TAP provides. As you know, layers are very important to mitigate how change affects dependent 'modules' I wonder if the TAP solution would be more acceptable if there were easily setup. In other words, if VirtualBox either provided a set of scripts to be used for setup or provided better examples. Personally, my thinking is a Wiki page is updated with an exact HOWTO. Once I get my end setup, I'll see about setting up the Wiki page. I've never done any work in a Wiki so it'll be good fun. I also think I _might_ be able to make my scripts somewhat generic across Linuxes (or however you spell the plural of Linux. <g>) Cheers, -pablo _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
