Configuring the TAP version of the HTTP server

[Peter Nguyen]

Christian,

So i copied the three scripts Sven provided, and I am not able to get  
the bridged connection working. Every time i run the script, the  
current eth0 connection is closed, and another ethernet connection is  
created that results in no interaction with the outside world. When i  
close the server and run the ifdown.sh script, the ethernet connection  
goes back to normal.

Am i meant to follow the instructions you provided in your email  
before i run these scripts? I tried doing that myself and it didn't  
work.
