Hi, Im new to this group, so let me know if i do something wrong. Im testing kvm here (runs almost fine), but there is a strange effect if I start kvm with tun/tap-devices I.e. a cups-server runs on localhost and accepts only localhost administration. If I make an request, tcpdump shows something like this: --------------------- snip -------------------------------- # tcpdump -i lo -n tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on lo, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 68 bytes 14:52:40.811315 IP 127.0.0.1.55006 > 127.0.0.1.631: S 3637547705:3637547705(0) win 32792 <mss 16396,sackOK,timestamp 273730[|tcp]> 14:52:40.811522 IP 127.0.0.1.631 > 127.0.0.1.55006: S 3651636684:3651636684(0) ack 3637547706 win 32768 <mss 16396,sackOK,timestamp 273730[|tcp]> --------------------- snap -------------------------------- But after starting kvm like: kvm \ -hda /home/oliver/Desktop/FreeNAS_0.69RC2_ESX_VM/FreeNAS_0.69RC2/FreeNAS_0.69RC2-flat.vmdk \ -hdb /home/oliver/nas.image \ -boot c \ -m 512 \ -localtime \ -soundhw es1370 \ -smb /home/oliver \ -net tap,vlan=0,ifname=win0,script=/etc/kvm/kvm-start \ -net nic,vlan=0 the source of all runnig X-Programs is redirected to my (wlan)-Adress: --------------------- snip -------------------------------- # tcpdump -i lo -n tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on lo, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 68 bytes 14:55:19.678993 IP 193.196.118.76.55009 > 127.0.0.1.631: S 1826022862:1826022862(0) win 32792 <mss 16396,sackOK,timestamp 321390[|tcp]> 14:55:19.679114 IP 127.0.0.1.631 > 127.0.0.1.55009: S 1839671451:1839671451(0) ack 1826022863 win 32768 <mss 16396,sackOK,timestamp 321390[|tcp]> --------------------- snip -------------------------------- In this way, cups forbids administration after starting kvm. Whats wrong here? What can I do here?
