[Netkit.users] tap device

[Robert Sebunnya]

Thanks , it all seems to be working.I was not allowing routing from the host 
machine to the virtual machine that was why I was not getting to it.
Well now that the routing is set up all seems to work fine and I am the 
happiest networker this year.
Thanks again.
