[Qemu-devel] Win2003 and network - the saga continues

Ok,

I created an ISO image with the network driver (the image is attached as gzip 
- the funny part is that when it's un-gzipped, it's 320k, gzipped - 5k) and 
with a simple README file. Fabrice, could you add it to the QEMU web site 
please? (or to CVS)

I managed to install the driver (of course, win2003 insisted that the IRQ is 
being taken by "standard PC" but after rebooting it seems ok), and I 
configured the ne2000 to 192.168.1.13 while my qemu-ifup is:

#!/bin/sh
sudo /sbin/ifconfig $1 192.168.1.12 netmask 255.255.255.0

Problem is, windows 2003 doesn't even want to ping..
The Windows setting is: 192.168.1.3, net mask 255.255.255.0
I tried to add a gateway to 192.168.1.12 (this host machine) but it didn't 
help..

Suggestions please?
Thanks,
Hetz

I don't think it is a good idea if Fabrice starts publishing other
people's software.  I don't know what the licence is but perhaps just a
hyper-link would suffice.

You added the host machine as a gateway within the guest?  You also need
to tell the host how to respond to the pings with something like:

route add -host <guest IP address> tun0

Personally I use the scripts published to the list earlier to set up NAT
and DHCP for the guest machine.  The post was by Nathan Hand on Thursday
entitled "improved qemu-ifup script".

There are only 2 files inside this ISO. The README file which I wrote (do I 
really need to declare GPL license for a README.TXT I wrote? :)

The other file is just an INF file which is a simple text file with a list of 
vendors and their card names. Nothing secret or proprietary here. Heck, you 
can erase 98% of it and can still use it. The actual file that INF file 
installs (ne2000.sys) is actually an internal part of Windows 2000/XP/2003 
and it's NOT inside the ISO image I provided.

I already have a DHCPD server running at home and it seems that iptables with 
kernel 2.6 causing some problems (but maybe my machine is wrong configured - 
this machine is a big mix of Redhat 8 + 9 + Fedora, all in 1 partition, big 
party ;)
