My physical network is 192.168.0.x and i have 2 machines on it. However, i use addresses in the same range for my UML's as i use them mainly to group services (mailserver, webserver, dns and so on). If they were real servers, they would also have an ipaddress in the same range so i don't see why i would use a whole other range of ip's for the umls. Although not the easiest, bridging is also a very nice way to get networking. If you use tuntap, you actually use 2 ip's, one on the host side and one on the uml side. The main advantage of bridging is that you only need one ip address. I ran into problems with it a year or so ago, when a certain bug in the kernel made bridging unusable (at least on my server). The networking was very very slow. Because of that i switched to the tuntap way of networking. I haven't tried bridging since so there's a good chance it works. As for the fact that not much info is around, if think that's not exactely true, it's just very widespread :) A couple of years back i started doing what you are doing, gathering info. I now have a 48Kb textfile with lot's of info dealing with how to compile an uml kernel, a host kernel, networking (tuntap, bridging), startup scripts for the uml's and so on. I haven't put it on the net because it's a working paper, not really a tutorial on how the setup an UML.
