OK I got it partially working now. Looks like the name is not the "device driver" name,

but rather, the arbitrary network interface name assigned during the installation,

which is normally it the form of "Local Area Connection x". I renamed and matched it

accordingly, then the above works. I could now ping between the guest OS and

host OS.

 

But still there are other problems, such as :-

 

1. If I start up second instance of guest OS, it will not join the network. Looks like

   somewhere there is a limitation on single open.

 

2. And I can't have multiple network cards within one guest OS using the

   tap devices.

 

Anyway, I view this as the current limitation of the software. Until changes

made to improving it, I will have to live with this limitation.

 

Cheers.
