One way to get colinux networking working on Windows7 is to simply bridge the colinux adapter to a working network adapter on your host machine. For example, bridge the colinux adapter to your wireless interface. * During colinux installation install the TAP driver. * Go the Windows 7 network and sharing * Select 'Change Adapter Settings' * You should see a TAP-32 colinux adapter. Click on that. Then Ctrl-click on the host adapter that you want to bridge to. Now right-click and choose 'Bridge Connections'. Edit the colinux @example.conf file and add the following line: eth0=tuntap
