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. -- Hawaiian Astronomical Society: http://www.hawastsoc.org HAS Deepsky Atlas: http://www.hawastsoc.org/deepsky
