You mean Linux guest and WinXP host I assume? As there is no support for
tuntap
in a Windows host, and never will. (Windows doesn't directly provide the
mechisms
need to do this. I am aware of two alternatives: the easy way is to set up
VPN
through user-net, the hard way is to patch qemu to use winpcap.)
BTW user-net is working
great but I need the emulated system to be a full fledged server. From
what
I can gather by reading the docs and messages, QEMU needs a script to
setup
tun/tap network ( by default /etc/qemu-ifup ). Unless I totally missed
it,
this script must be on the host OS. Now my host OS being WinXP, I don't
have any "/etc" or any linux like scripts. Is there an alternate
script/batch file for Windows? If not, what is the alternative?
Look up the -redir option.
Care to help.
