You want Bridging on Linux host ? OK, I got it partially working. 1. Get tunctl utility: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/user-mode-linux/uml_utilities_20040406.tar.bz2 http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/dl-sf.html http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/networking.html#daemons tunctl -t t

The problem with TAP solution, is that it doesn't works. At least on Windows. In other words, it is not cross-platform. Bridging on Windows is very limited. PCap *can* be used as networking solution. Dynamips emulator uses this for host networking. -Alexey ___

I know TAP networking, but this is not scaleble. I run network simulations with up to 100 NICs, and Virtual PC scales nicely (following exactly my needs), while VirtualBox does not. Basically, you cannot make 100 bridges simulataneously on Windows with Virtual Box, but you can with Virtual PC (as
