Re: [Qemu-devel] about DHCP server in qemu

["Jim C. Brown" <jma5@umd.edu>]

Well I tried it myself and it doesn't work. eth0 gets an IP of 1.1.1.1 but
nothing is pingable.

I tried to make the packet sizes larger than 300 bytes just in case that was
the cause of the error (tho thats unlikely imvho), but that just got me a
syntax error from lua.
