[Qemu-devel] How to make TCP/IP applications run on guest OS?

Hi all,

   I have bridged the network of the host. There was one br0 and several
taps on it. When I started up a guest using:

                     #kvm -hda ubuntu.img -localtime -m 1G  -net nic, -net
tap,ifname=tap0,script=no

   The guest can ping to other VMs or physical PCs within the same LAN.
However, when I tried to communicate with other VMs/PCs using TCP/IP,
the incoming IP at the receiver side is the same as the host IP instead of
the VM's IP. Then how to configure the network so that
the TCP/IP applications run well just like the phsical PC?

   Thanks,

Yi

libvirt/virt-manager can set up the network for you.  I suggest using
them if you're having issues configuring bridging.

There is some basic information here but you'll find specifics if you do
a web search for "qemu bridging" or similar:
