I installed windows XP in qemu (OpenSuse11.1 is my base system). It shows a
ethernet card and ipconfig returns this:
IP address : 10.0.2.15
subnet : 255.255.255.0
default gateway : 10.0.2.2
While in my base system ifconfig returns this:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1D:72:63:A6:12
inet addr:10.5.50.108 Bcast:10.5.50.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

The 10.0.2.2 (default gateway for windows xp) is my base system. So I think
it is working using NAT.
I can ping my base system from the virtual machine using 10.0.2.2. I tried
putty and it worked. But I am unable to ping to virtual machine from my base
system.
Is there a way that it directly connects to the main connection and not
through a NAT? As if another computer (virtual machine) were connected to
the switch?
Thanks & regards
