[Qemu-devel] Qemu's -smb switch

[Peter Besenbruch]

I finally got the -smb function to work with Qemu and a Windows 98 guest 
OS. In so doing I found the "man" page for Qemu unclear, and in one 
case, flat wrong.

The unclear part is that if one uses a "-net user" in the command line, 
you specifically need to add "-net nic" also, or it won't work; Windows 
will not even show a network login. Also not clear is that one can put a 
"[qemu]" section in the smb.conf file, and that works well.

The wrong part is the IP address to put in the "lmhosts" file of the 
guest, Windows OS. 10.0.2.4 is wrong. It should be 10.0.2.2.
