Your dhcpd.conf file worked fine. Thank you. I still wasn't able to get vbe to work. Everything looked in order, but no connection. I may have messed up the install of vbe. Anyway, I decided to try and configure tun0 direct. After *much* ado I've finally got my connection (almost). I would have never pulled it off with the knowledge gained from you. My Qemu network now connects to network shares, and I have a working internet connection under Linux guests. For some reason, I cannot get internet on Win98. Network shares works fine but no net. Even switching to -user-net doesn't help, so it's probably a Windows problem. Only thing left to try is reinstall Windows and see if that helps. Just wanted to update, and throw a final thanks at ya. :) -jm
