[Qemu-devel] newbie trying to connect linux host -> windows guest filesystem

[David Hoare]

Hi all!
Congratulations on such a cool piece of software. I am new to the linux 
world, and currently investigating both VMware and alternatives to keep 
some of my unique windows apps alive...

Currently qemu is running fine under Linux (suse 9.1) with a windows 98 
guest image.  The guest system (98) can access the internet fine, as can 
the host system. I would like to be able to access one system's files 
from the other (either direction would work...).
I understand from the few threads I could find that it has something to 
do with samba and a network connection, and to that end I have the samba 
server running on the linux host's side, but don't know where to go from 
here...?

Any help would be appreciated!
Thankyou,
David Hoare

Basically you need to setup a tun networking device. There are various ways to 
go about this, which is best for you is impossible to determine.

I'd suggest searching the mail list archives on "tun" and/or "tun0" "tap" 
tap0".
After determining an approach, and if required, post back with more specific 
questions.

Try VDE... I find it works great with Qemu and win98.  Links below to 
get you started.
