That's not what he asked for. AFAICT that script will set up a separate
subnet, 192.168.1.*, instead of using the 192.168.0.* subnet. It won't do
what he wants. (It looks like that to the outside world it will have an ip of
$qemu_ip, but from inside the guest OS he will still be on a separate subnet.)

In any case my recommendation is that he uses VDE and maintains all the virtual
machines on a separate subnet from his actual LAN (assuming thats possible,
of course some Windows machines will refuse to browse SMB network shares that
aren't on the same subnet ... but thats slightly off-topic).
