Virtualbox bridged Networking on mandriva

[nokheat]

I have followed the instructions to build a temp bridge and virtual interface for the virtual machine.

the network didnt work then. what have i probably missed out?

any ideas?

here is teh script i used to get the network

script:
#!/bin/bash
#buld a tap adapter
tunctl -t tap1 -u <username>
#set a bridge and named br0
brctl addbr br0
#make eth0 promisc
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc
#connect the real interface to bridge
brctl addif br0 eth0
#give br0 the existing ip
ifconfig br0 192.168.1.60
# connect the virtual interface to bridge
brctl addif br0 tap1
# activate tap1
ifconfig tap1 up
# set permission
chmod 0666 /dev/net/tun

First, read the Forum Posting Guide and give us the info we need. With just a script and "it doesn't work" is not very helpful.
Second, doesn't the ifconfig command need a netmask too?
