Yes, it seems that Fabrice has slipped in a few changes since I last looked at the slirp code. :) The internal DHCP server can now support 16 dhcp clients. That's for multiple clients within a single qemu guest though (think multiple NICs here). I don't see any way for qemu guests to be able to ping each other (for example) if they are both using user-net. > Even if it worked like a full fledged DHCP server, there's no > >way to > >connect multiple guests together.

From the code in slirp/bootp.c it looks like qemu's dhcp server will give out 10.0.2.15 first, then 10.0.2.16, and so on (so it goes in sequential order). But thats within a single qemu session. Theres no way for multiple user-net qemu guests to communicate (at least on the ethernet level) so the guests should have the same ip address. Very strange. -- Infinite complexity begets infinite beauty. Infinite precision begets infinite perfection. _______________________________________________ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
