I have WinXPSP2 running on Suse 10.2. I only use Windows at work where we have a vpn to North America, Europe, or Singapore with a proxy. Only mail clint allowed is Lookout 2003 which only will work with the corporate exchange server. No other mail client will work as the ports are blocked and in additon, very slow. Took 6 hours to copy 600 MB to one of the file servers.. We do have a wireless connection to a local ISP DSL line that would work for Linux and Evolution or any other mail program. What I would like to do is to have the WinXP virtual machine access only the hardwire vpn network, and the Linux access the wireless. So I have eth0, nic0, and the wlan0. Would like any pointers on how to set this up so Windows sees the nic0 and eth0 as it does not, but anything and Linux would only see the wlan0. Any suggestions? Art
Finally found that by setting the network devices to be managed by traditional ifup instead of the network manager, then adding eth1 to the /etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.conf then using ifplugd -i eth1 I can have both eth0 and eth1 up at the same time. Now to figure out the routing for them. Art
