Now your host machine is a router between the vde network and the real network. follow a HOWTO on linux networking to find out HOW to configure a router. e.g. if you want to see the vde network as an internal masqueraded net you can use something like # echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward # modprobe iptable_nat # iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE renzo
