I used tunctl to setup a persistent tap device (tun0) and I used the -u option followed by the username that will be running dosemu. I then did an "ifconfig tap0 192.168.1.13 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255" so that it would talk with my network (my server is 192.168.1.12). Now if I do an ifconfig, I can see the tap0 device with the proper ip, netmask, and broadcast addresses. Now I'm a bit confused as to what needs to be setup by my DOS network client. Originally, I assumed that dosemu would be similar to vmware, in that I would need to load a dos network driver. But, as you stated, I won't need to load a network driver. However, the first set of instructions for TUN/TAP support instruct the user to "Configure the DOS network clients to have another IP address within the same domain". I'm a bit confused as to what will need to be loaded on the dos client in order for it to network. > Bridging comes in handy if you're talking to the > outside world > http://edeca.net/articles/bridging/ > says how this works in user mode linux (UML).

But in order to communicate with the rest of th 192.168.1.x subnet I will have to bridge tap0 with another ethernet device (i.e. eth0)? And then the dosghsrv can recieve requests from the ghost clients to broadcast the ghost images via multicast?
