Re: qemu & file transfer.
This reply has been written serial fashion as I tested various things. I want to t/f files from windows to linux. I can t/f from linux to windows by creating temp iso files. Printing would be ok but I could print to disk the t/f the file.

The response in each case is 'not connected' I can ping both IPs from windows When offline I tried 'qemu -user-net c -hda ~/win98.img' The response is 'Could not get DNS address' To start qemu while offline I need the '-dummy-net' option. I can only ping and ftp to 10.0.2.20, ls again shows 'not connected' Went online and started with 'qemu -user-net c -hda ~/win98.img'.I can now ping both numbers from windows. From linux I get 100% packet loss ftp 10.0.2.2 now starts and requests linux user/pswd. Help command provides a listing. dir & ls both lock up the terminal. This will tell you what the ip address of the windows machine is. There is a drop down box - make sure you choose the right adaptor. The address should be something in the range of 10.0.2.x 10.0.2.20 The address of the linux machine should be 10.0.2.2 If you have your ftp server set up on the linux box try ftp'ing into it from the windows VM. Start a msdos command line thingy and simply type ftp 10.0.2.2 Feed back the results. as above On Fri, 21 Oct 2005 09:07:00 +1300 Nick Rout wrote: Barry you seem majorly confused between ftp and smb networking.

Re: qemu & file transfer.
Barry you seem majorly confused between ftp and smb networking. What is it that you are trying to do?

There you go then. Are you running a kernel + modules built by your Linux distributor or one you built yourself? In order to do networking things you _have_ to have networking enabled in the kernel, You need to either load the networking modules or compile them in. However if the only 'networking' you are trying to do is between the qemu environment and the Linux host machine fairly obviously you will not need to build any drivers for Network Interface Cards. -- CS
Re: qemu & file transfer.
Thanks for the reply Rob. I went back to that page I found. It seems to presume that a network and file server are already set up which is not so. I have installed proftpd but am not sure about it being setup correctly.

Barry, IMHO the simplest instructions were the ones on the website you posted about http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Qemu Use these and the IP address as I mentioned in my last post and it just worked albeit with the less than satifactory reliabilty. (I kept thinking that it wasn't working but when I kept trying and retrying it would eventually work. Sometimes it would work first time without doing anything differently. WinXP has worked without fail) -- Regards, Robert -- Robert Fisher (aka - Rob, Bob, Robbie, Robbo, Fish) FishNet Computer & Electrical Services www.fisher.net.nz Phone: 03 383 5807 Mobile: 027 477 3356

I posted full instructions a week or so ago, it was a long thread so happy hunting!

I had troubles with Win98 in Qemu but when it worked it was as simple as Start > Run > \\192.168.10.11 (if you use the ipaddress of the host system you do not need to add it to the lmhosts file) Trouble was that it was either slow or intermittently successful. With Win XP it works quickly and reliably. I am really happy with it. I will probably invest in more RAM to get better performance with it. -- Regards, Robert -- Robert Fisher (aka - Rob, Bob, Robbie, Robbo, Fish) FishNet Computer & Electrical Services www.fisher.net.nz Phone: 03 383 5807 Mobile: 027 477 3356
qemu & file transfer.
According to the documentation it should be possible to ftp files to/from qemu, but how do i set this up? I have a need to t/f files each way. ftp is working, I can bring up a prompt in a xterm, and ftp to localhost in gftp. I use gftp to access my website. Samba is installed & running. I looked at the conf file using swat and laltered the workgrop name to 'WORKGROUP' same as windows. I also added a qemu section as follows [qemu] comment = Temporary file space path = /tmp read only = No guest ok = Yes fstype = FAT qemu starts windows 98 without any problem, but I need the -dummy-net option unless I am on line. File & print sharing is enabled. Tcp/IP is installed for dialup (automatic IP) & for ethernet(10.0.2.20 255.0.0.0). What gateway do I set? Your ideas on what to try next are wanted TIA Barry
