Ok, I have recently been interested in getting Hamachi installed on DSL. Compiling the program is fairly easy, already got it working... Sort of. It needs the TUN/TAP virtual network device. I was wondering if anyone knows how to get that working in DSL. If I could get some help with that, I'm certain I can figure out everything else on my own.

Thanks!

I could never get that tun/tap to work in dsl. I used the> -user-net <to get internet in in qemu. Maybe you can try that.

Oh, I'm not having trouble getting on the internet, that works fine. I needed that driver so I could use Hamachi on DSL. It's a nice, simple alternative to having to ssh back home everytime I need a remote connection.

tun/tap is for virtual network," -user-net " is the switch for virtual network in dsl. so since you want a virtual network try running in terminal> Hamachi -user-net < which should give you the virtual network that tun/tap would give.
