I don't see why it should make a difference if you run a client or a server inside the guest OS. They both need a network connection. However, QEMU's guest OS can behave like a real system on the network. Have a look at <http://people.freebsd.org/~maho/qemu/qemu.html> for a setup description. Of course you don't have to use bridge, it works with if_bridge and NAT, too. Fabian -- http://www.fabiankeil.de/
