From the Bochs documentation: "Emulates an NE2000 compatible network card. On Windows NT/2000, Linux, FreeBSD, and NetBSD, Bochs will forward packets to and from the operating system so that the guest OS can talk on the physical network. Unfortunately, on some platforms the guest OS can talk to any machine on the network BUT NOT the host machine. On Windows and on systems that allow the TAP or TUN/TAP interface, there is no such limitation. Often the host machine may be configured so the guest OS has access to the internet. On MacOSX, it is not possible yet to forward packets between the guest and the host." So while it's not properly a TUN/TAP interface maybe the Bochs folks have already solved the particular problem and/or have some code (LGPL'd!) which can form the basis for a native TUN/TAP driver for Windows that OpenVPN could talk to. ____________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users |
