The problem I stated in the original message in the thread 
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2008-02/msg00109.html> is 
that I want to connect from the *guest* to the *host*.  Since the host and 
the guest are on the same subnet, only inside the guest the subnet is 
fake, the guest cannot e.g. ssh to the host.

So I patched qemu so that the guest would have a different internal IP 
range, and then the guest can e.g. ssh to the host.

I hope that clears things up.  Let me know if further clarification is 
necessary.
