As there is no support for tuntap in a Windows host, and never will. (Windows doesn't directly provide the mechisms need to do this. I am aware of two alternatives: the easy way is to set up VPN through user-net, the hard way is to patch qemu to use winpcap.) > BTW user-net is working > great but I need the emulated system to be a full fledged server.
