[Qemu-devel] HowTo use tapped network with 0.8.0

[Qemu-devel] HowTo use tapped network with 0.8.0

[vdr]

Hi,
I am using Version 0.7.2 under Win2000 and the network is working fine with the parameter:
 -tap "my-tap"
Now I tried using 0.8.0, but the parameter:
-net nic -net tap
does not work:Unknown network device: tap
Is anyone using tapped networking with qemu 0.8.0 successfully and if yes, what parameters are you using ?
Thanks in advance
Helmut

The tap version under Windows requires someones independant patch (see Google) 
in order to work.  I decided not to use the tap patch for Windows because it 
hasn't made it into a stable release yet.  I instead used OpenVPN and 
bridging on my host and guest so that my guest appears to be on my LAN.  Set 
up your host as your OpenVPN server, your guest as your OpenVPN client, and 
set up bridging as described in the howto and everything will work smoothly. 
(see openvpn.net).
