Re: Network Question
Just read your mail. I will have to take some time, to look into what you have said, as I have not yet used the concepts that you spoke about. Another solution would be to install a new network card into both computers and assign static ip addresses to them, but I do not want to do that.

I turned my FBSD desktop into a router/gateway, put pf to nat everything and set up an independent smb server on the host. Pings travel on any direction!. The guests have access to ALL the host's files and vice versa, BOTH guests have internet access and best of all, I can access the linux guest through an ssh shell and the windows guest through vncviewer, and, of course, the 2 guests see each other ! Imagine how happy I am ! I tried this without turning my desktop into a gateway. The guests had internet access but the host was invisible to them and I got tired of trying to make qemu's -smb option work, so I adapted this a-bit radical approach I saw on a how-to for Sun OS I found on the net. I'm really impressed with qemu performance !. I´ve compiled kernels, built RPMs and the reduction in performance from doing these things in a separate machine is really endurable. My question is: If I don't put re0 into promiscous mode, all of this falls apart ! The network goes totally down for the host-guests, but the host retains its internet conectivity. I discovered that by chance! I was trying to find out what was happening with conectivity so I tried pinging the host from the linux guest. As soon as I started tcpdump on the host, the pings went through so I found out what I needed from there. Is this normal or is there something wrong with my NIC? setup?
