Re: [Qemu-devel] Has anyone got tun/tap network running on WinXp host / Linux guest ?

[M. Khalid Khan]

Thank you so much Jim, can you give me some pointers on how to setup vpn 
through user-net in this situation. I looked at -redir option but it looks 
too tedious to set each and every port needed. If only there could be block 
redir option i.e. all ports from N to N+M on host be redirected to guest 
ports 0 to M.
Thanks again for your help
Khalid
