[Qemu-devel] W98 Host & Network

[qemu]

I spent some time with Bochs getting it all running the way I want to be able to web site testing with various OS/browser installs.  It's always been a bit on the slow side so I took a look at Qemu and, after figuring out I needed a full path to the BIOS file, got it working.

I like what I see (and how fast I see it) and have been using it to test various custom builds of Ultimate Boot CD, Knoppix, etc.  I've come to the point where I want to start using HDD images & do network testing but when I try using Bart's Network Boot Disk (off of the Ultimate Boot CD v2.4) I get various "hardware" related errors whether I use either of the automatically detected NICs or a manual selection of the NE2000.

I'm trying to determine if it's a Qemu or Bart's Network Boot Disk issue.  Anybody have any suggestions or similar experiences?

Thanks.

Are you using the '-user-net' command option, or do you have a tun device 
configured?

jm,

Sorry for the long delay - email problems kept me from getting my daily
batches correctly.

I'm using:
C:\Progra~1\Qemu\qemu.exe -L C:\Progra~1\Qemu\ -m 128 -boot d -cdrom "%1"

As I understood it -user-net wasn't needed with Windows as a host.  I tried
it anyway but that seemed to cause Qemu to not run at all.

Are you using the '-user-net' command option, or do you have a tun device
configured?

Is it possible to have a tun device in a Windows host
for use with QEmu? I've seen the adapter bundled with
OpenVPN, but don't know if it works for QEmu.

Not that I'm aware of, but then I have no experience with a Windows host.
