Re: [Condor-users] Unix jobs on Windows PCs

[m_kempenaar@xxxxxxxxx]

Hi Mike,

I use TAP networking (comes with coLinux) on Windows 2000 and Windows
XP. I haven't had any problems setting it up on 4 pc's now (testsetup).
On Windows 2K I use connection sharing and on WinXP I create a network
bridge.
There is a large amount of documentation on the coLinux wiki about
networking: http://colinux.wikia.com/wiki/CoLinuxNetworking 
I don't have any experience with WinPCAP or SLIRP, TAP works great for me.

Marcel.
