well, there are a couple of things that should be done - the ethernet driver bug should be fixed - venti should be shown how to use a pipe instead of tcp. but, i think if you configure a proper loopback using loopbackmedium rather than going through your virtual ethernet controller, that might just fix the problem. - erik
