I agree with this - guesswork and invisible options can be confusing.
That's why I suggest what I think is the simplest solution: Just let
this be overridable on the command line.
Isn't the user-net IP irrelevant to the outside? AFAIK, it just causes
Qemu to act as a normal TCP/IP client to the OS it's running on, and the
guest OS simply can't accept incoming connections (nobody actually knows
that the program issuing the connections is actually hosting an OS
inside).
The problem I stated in the original message in the thread
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2008-02/msg00109.html> is
that I want to connect from the *guest* to the *host*. Since the host and
the guest are on the same subnet, only inside the guest the subnet is
fake, the guest cannot e.g. ssh to the host.
So I patched qemu so that the guest would have a different internal IP
range, and then the guest can e.g. ssh to the host.
I hope that clears things up. Let me know if further clarification is
necessary.
