I run 8.10 and want to run TinyXP to get Outlook to run to connect to the company exchange server. Xp runs perfectly, except no network device.

I have tried the following :
phazer@black:~/Downloads$ sudo tunctl -t tap1 -u phazer
phazer@black:~/Downloads$ sudo tunctl -t tap1 -u phazer
Set 'tap1' persistent and owned by uid 1000
phazer@black:~/Downloads$ sudo brctl addbr br0
phazer@black:~/Downloads$ sudo ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc
phazer@black:~/Downloads$ sudo brctl addif br0 eth0
phazer@black:~/Downloads$ sudo dhclient br0

phazer@black:~/Downloads$ sudo brctl addif br0 tap1
phazer@black:~/Downloads$ sudo ifconfig tap1 up
phazer@black:~/Downloads$ sudo chmod 0666 /dev/net/tun

and then setting host device to tap1 under network for the guest xp box, but still nothing.

Anyone have ANY idea?
