Goal
The goal of this tutorial is to build the following small 2-computer network:
and:
Goal
Have Computer A ping the tun "virtual" interface on Computer B.
Simple, right?
Some details:
- This tutorial assumes that Computer A runs Windows XP, and computer B runs Windows Vista. Yes, Linux is easier to use, but since we computer people tend to know Linux better, I thought it would be fun exercise to go the Windows way this time.
- Computer A will be issuing ping commands.
- Computer B contains a
tun
virtual interface, and is configured to forward packets between its Ethernet andtun
interfaces. - A Python script runs on Computer B and answers IPv6 and IPv4 ping requests addressed to any IP address in the
bbbb::/64
(IPv6) and10.2.x.x
(IPv4) ranges.
