[Qemu-devel] user-net -redir working?

[Richard Neill]

Does the user-net redirection for tcp actually work?
I have been unable to make it work at all!

I've tried  several different host machines (all Linux, different 
versions of Qemu from 0.6.1 to 0.7.2), and different guests (Win98 and 
Knoppix). But it doesn't work. Eg:

qemu -cdrom /dev/cdrom -boot d -user-net -redir tcp:2300::2301

In Guest (knoppix):
  netcat -l -p 2301

On Host:

  netcat localhost 2300

  This connection is accepted (Netcat doesn't say connection refused), 
but then no data is ever transferred.


Could someone confirm whether
  a)I am being an idiot
  b) -redir is actually broken
  c) something is extremely weird in my setup.

Thanks for your help,

Richard
