Re: [Qemu-discuss] Can't access network: XP guest, Solaris host

[Michele Denber]

OK  I figured it out.  The key is simply to set XP's networking TCP 
parameters to automatic gateway and automatic DNS (perhaps the 
documentation should mention this).  I had been setting gateway to 
192.168.0.1 which is what all my other PC's use.  I had been fooling 
around with changing options in the call to start qemu.  That was just a 
red herring.  My XP networking is running fine now.
