Without a network connection, coLinux won't be very useful. However, since it runs within Windows and is supposed to cooperate, it won't just steal access to the network. Instead, it acts as a separate computer connected over a network. The TAP-Win32 network driver is an odd little thing that allows a process in your computer (i.e., coLinux) to connect to your computer (Windows) as if it were a separate computer connected over a network. This way, you have a connection shared between Windows and coLinux with relatively little trouble.

| - Without a network connection, coLinux won't be very useful. However, since it runs within Windows and is supposed to cooperate, it won't just steal access to the network. Instead, it acts as a separate computer connected over a network. The TAP-Win32 network driver is an odd little thing that allows a process in your computer (i.e., coLinux) to connect to your computer (Windows) as if it were a separate computer connected over a network. This way, you have a connection shared between Windows and coLinux with relatively little trouble. There is one frequent problem regarding the TAP-Win32 Driver during coLinux installation: the dialog for TAP Win32 installation loses focus and gets hidden under other windows, giving the impression that the installation program is hung. You can find the lost window by pressing ALT-TAB continuously until you find the window that tells you you're installing an unsigned driver. Just press OK.
