I've been there. Win98 installed so easily under qemu-0.5.5 that I just accepted all defaults. Then I tried all the suggested content for /etc/qemu-ifup. Nothing worked. Finally I tried tcpdump, and found that the emulator wasn't transmitting anything. Ever. I tried linux with the same emulator and /etc/qemu-ifup, and all was fine. Back to Win98: I removed the network adapter and reinstalled, but forced use of interrupt 9/2 instead of default. Suddenly everything worked! > Can someone *please* post a howto for guest networking? Real good idea! I would suggest it include: - use tcpdump to verify network is working: e.g., tcpdump -i tun0 host 192.168.2.4 - if a network interface already exists (like eth0), then tun must use either a bridge or a separate subnet and gateway
