I have my user mode kernel running on my gentoo box following the gentoo's guide: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/uml.xml but can not access the Internet, pinging my host system appears to be no problem though.. my host system has a ADSL connection to the Internet, and "eth0" has been assigned with IP 192.168.0.1. here is my command line that brings up the user mode linux: UML> linux ubd0=root_fs ubd1=swap_fs eth0=tuntap,,,192.168.0.1 I assigned 192.168.0.2 to my UML, added default route entry; copyed over my resolv.conf. but still can't contact with my name servers nor other Internet hosts. did I miss something? or the guide is just incomplete? thanks. daniel <http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/uml.xml>
