QEMU supports network in user mode. You can browse the Internet and use ftp, ssh etc. without root privilege or Administrative privilege.
When you use a program which connect from a Host OS to a Guest OS with option -redir, it needs to have a root privilege or an Adrimistrative privilege.
-net option is used to set a network card and a input-output of data, so it is necessary to set more than two -net options.
-net nic -net user
Default.
-net nic,vlan=1 -net user,vlan=1
Configure network as VLAN number 1.
-net nic,model=ne2k_pci -net user
-net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user
-net nic,model=pcnet -net user
Use PCI Network card. ne2k_pci is a default.
-M isapc -net nic -net user
Use ISA network card.
NE2000 PCI, RTL8139, PCNET and NE2000 ISA cards are available for the network card.
-net nic,model is used to set the model of the network card. ne2k_pci is a default.
-net nic,model=ne2k_pci -net user
-net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user
-net nic,model=pcnet -net user
When you want to use ISA card, it is necessary to set -M isapc option.
-M isapc -net nic -net user
-M isapc -net nic,model=nek2_isa -net user
From version 0.6.0, NE2000 PCI card is supported. If a guest OS supports Plug and Play, NE2000 will be detected automatically. And if the guest OS have DHCP client, network will be automatically configured. You don't have to set it manually.
Realtec 8029 driver can be used for Windows for Workgroup 3.11, Windows NT 4 and OS/2 warp 4. NE2000 driver doesn't work for Windows fot Workgroup 3.11 and Windows NT 4.
If NE2000 can't be detected on Linux, please try these.
$ modprobe ne2k-pci $ dhclient eth0 (or $ dhcpcd eth0)
kernel modules loaded are 8390.o and ne2k-pci.o.

There is the case that you can browse the Internet by IP address but can't browse by name (e.x. ). For example, It can be caused by the case that a router doesn't have a function of DNS server.
It is necessary to set DNS server's addresses to a guest OS. When a guest OS is linux, set them in /etc/resolve.conf
/etc/resolve.conf:
nameserver DNS server's address 1
nameserver DNS server's address 2
When a guest OS is Windows, set them in property of NE2000 in Network and Dial-up Connections.
From version 0.8.0, network options are changed. It is called VLAN. You can connect among guest OSes.
-net option is used to set data input/output terminal. For NE2000, it is -net nic. If you want to use more than two NE2000 or more than two guest OSes, it is necessary to set macaddr for each -net nic option like -net nic,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56. The value of macaddr should be different for each NE2000. For user mode network stack, -net user option is used. When you want to set one NE2000 for guest OS and connect to the Internet, options are -net nic -net user. It is default.
When you want to use more than two guest OSes, you can use TCP or UDP. TCP can be used by -net socket,listen and -net socket,connect options. UDP can be used by -net socket,mcast option. When -net socket,listen and -net socket,connect options are used, output data from NE2000 of one guest OS are encapsulated by TCP packet and sent to other OSes. When -net socket,mcast option is used, it is done by UDP packet.
-net socket,listen or -net socket,mcast options need to have an administrative priviledge to use them.
Here is some usage of VLAN.
I made three copies of Redhat hard disk image and start them at different command prompt. ne2k-pci kernel module is loaded so that I can see network interface by ifconfig -a.
Overall notices are:
It is necessary to set macaddr at the second OS.
IP address or localhost is necesary to set listen or connect. Otherwise it is set to 0.0.0.0.
Don't start two QEMU using one hard disk image. It will break your hard disk image.
These results are the same as on Linux host.

An advantage of TCP (-net socket,listen and -net socket,connect) is reliability. When UDP (-net socket,mcast) is used, guest OSes' network stack is used to fill reliability.
An disadvantage of TCP is that if a guest OS with -net socket,listen option crashes, the rest of guest OSes can not communicate each other. If -net socket,mcast is used, you do not need to worry about it.
From version 0.8.0, -isa option is changed to -M isapc option. When you use ISA NE2000 card with -M isapc option, a network in a guest OS isn't configured automatically. It needs to set it by yourself. I used these OSes.
Host OS: Fedora Core 1 or Windows2000
Guest OS: Red Hat Linux 7.2
I installed Red Hat 7.2 only with network support. I think it doesn't need to change CD-ROM if you don't install X Windows.
From version 0.8.0, -user-net option is changed to -net nic -net user.
$ qemu -L ./pc-bios -hda redhat72.img -net nic -net user
If you want to use NE2000 ISA card, you need to set IRQ and I/O memory base manually. IRQ is 9 and I/O is 0x300.
It needs to be root in gest OS to set network configuration.
Please load two drivers for NE2000 at first.

It is nesessary to set an IP address of a guest OS when the program starts. An IP address of a Windows98 guest rented from DHCP server is 10.0.2.15, Morphix is 10.0.2.15, RedHat Linux is 10.0.2.16. Please see it by yourself.
host OS$ qemu.exe -L ../pc-bios -hda redhat.img -redir tcp:5555:10.0.2.16:23
10.0.2.16 is the IP address of the guest OS. 5555 is a port which is used to accept a connection on the host OS and 23 is a port which is used in the guest OS. 23 is used by telnet server.
If you want to use telnet and ssh together, you can use some -redir options.
host OS$ qemu.exe -L ../pc-bios -hda redhat.img -redir tcp:5555:10.0.2.16:23 -redir tcp:5556:10.0.2.16:22
22 is sshd. You can see port's numbers in /etc/services in Linux.
It seems that it takes time to set arp table.
After connecting to the guest OS, arp table is like this.
guest OS# arp -a
guest OS#? (10.0.2.3) at 52:54:00:12:35:03 [eth0] on eth0
guest OS#? (10.0.2.3) at 52:54:00:12:35:02 [eth0] on eth0
But don't set IP address of the guest OS manually in the guest OS.
You can see IP address gotten from DHCP server by winipcfg.exe in Windows 98/Me guest, ipconfig /all in Windows 2000/XP guest and ifconfig in Linux guest. IP address is probably 10.0.2.15 or 10.0.2.16. It is necessary to set it at starting the program.
Routing table is like this when IP address is set by hand.
guest OS# Destination Genmask
guest OS# 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0
But it is set by DHCP server,
guest OS# 10.0.2.0 255.255.255.0
It doesn't work in the case above.
If you want set them by hand, you can set them like this.
guest OS# modprobe ne2k-pci
guest OS# ifconfig eth0 10.0.2.16 netmask 255.255.255.0
guest OS# route add default gw 10.0.2.2 eth0
Then you can connect from the host OS to the guest OS.
It may take time to connect to the guest OS at first.
Please check that the IP addess, routing table and xinetd.
guest OS# ifconfig
guest OS# netstat -rn
guest OS# ps ax |grep xinetd
Type on the host OS:
Note: When your host OS is Linux (Fedora Core 4), use your network card's address instead of localhost.
host OS$ telnet localhost 5555
or
host OS$ telnet 192.168.0.2 5555
You will see Login prompt from telnet server after a while.
If you want to use ftp, use passive mode.
host OS$ qemu.exe -L ../pc-bios -hda redhat.img -redir tcp:5558:10.0.2.16:21
21 is a control port for ftp.
After configuring a network in the guest OS, type
host OS$ ftp
host OS$ ftp>open localhost 5558
host OS$ Name:
host OS$ Password:
host OS$ ftp>passive
host OS$ passive mode on.
host OS$ ftp>ls
There is a ftp client which can not set port. It takes time to connect to ftp server.
ssh port can be set by -p option.
Note: When your host OS is Linux (Fedora Core 4), use your network card's address instead of localhost.
host OS$ sshd localhost -p 5556
or
host OS$ sshd 192.168.0.2 -p 5556
UDP ports can be redirected. -redir udp:5560:10.0.2.16:117 etc.
Please check that you can browse the Internet on host OS.
You can use softwares based on TCP/IP and UDP/IP. You cannot ping, traceroute etc. to the Internet.
Guest OS cannnot be accessed from the Internet without -redir option but it can be infected through e-mail or browser. Please update it and use anti-virus software.
QEMU supporting a network in user mode is a simple client program. A virtual network in QEMU which has a DHCP server doesn't have any relationship with a host's network configuration (except for DNS server's addresses).
At first, to check an network interface card and the internal network, ping to a virtual router 10.0.2.2 int a guest OS.
[guest OS]$ ping 10.0.2.2
If it doesn't return elapsed time, please set IP address 10.0.2.16 manually and try ping. If it works, NE2000 and it's driver is OK. A problem is to get IP address from DHCP server.
Plese set DNS server's addresses from the Internet Service Provider manulally.
If it desn't work, it might be a problem of the driver. please try to use -isa option to start the QEMU.
[host OS] C:\qemu.exe -L ./pc-bios -hda linux.img -isa
There is a case that it works by a driver of Readtek 8029.
If your guest OS which is Linux can get an IP address 10.0.2.x by dhcpcd or dhclient from virtual DHCP server , the problem is that packets cannnot be sent or received by QEMU.
If you can use tcpdump as root on a host OS, you can check it.
[host OS]# tcpdump -i eth0
or
[host OS]# tcpdump -i eth1 (if you have two cards)
or when you use a host-gest connection,
[host OS]# tcpdump -i lo
Then use a program on a guest OS.
[guest OS]$ lynx
When a connection is normal, you will see some output of tcpdump.
When your host OS is Windows, a simple way to check the netwrok is to use ping. If a network address of network interface card of host OS is 192.168.100.2, ping works.
[guest OS]C:\ ping 192.168.100.2
ICMP ping is converted UDP packet and sent to port 82 (XFER UTILITY) of the host OS. Linux doesn't respond to it but Windows does only when it is the host OS. The program ping can't be used to the Internet because a remote host usually doesn't respond to it.
A virtual network in QEMU uses source codes known as SLiRP. It is originally developed in BSD. All packets sent to 10.0.2.2 are separated IP packet header, TCP packet header and data. Then QEMU sends them as if it sends as a normal client program. This enables a user mode networking. All received packets are reconfigured and sent to a guest OS.
A debug log can be taken by removing // in slirp/slirp.c.
// debug_init("/tmp/slirp.log", DEBUG_DEFAULT);
It is made in c:\tmp\slirp.log.When a TCP/IP program starts in the guest OS, the following functions are called.
ne2000_ioport_write
qemu_send_packet
slirp_send_packet
slirp_input
ip_input
tcp_input
tcp_fconnect
Then a socket is made. The socket is set to async mode (FIONBIO) so that it is checked by select() function to determine whether it can receive or send data. If there is data which can be received or sent, recv() or send() are used.
It is checked periodically in main_loop() in vl.c by calling slirp_select_fill(),select() and slirp_select_poll().
Data are sent by these functions.
slirp_select_poll in slirp.c
tcp_input in slirp_select_poll() in slirp.c
sbappend in tcp_input.c:574
send in sbappend() in sbuf.c
Data are received by these functions.
slirp_select_poll in slirp.c
soread in slirp_select_poll() in slirp.c
recv in soread() in socket.c
When there are data to be received, these functions are called.
tcp_output in slirp_select_poll in slirp.c
ip_output
if_output
if_encap
slirp_output
slirp_fd_read
ne2000_receive
Then they are sent to NE2000. It seems that data is outputed to QEMU by SLiRP, though they are input data to the program.
Sockets can be closed by this.
tcp_close in tcp_subr.c
struct socket in socket.h has data of a socket descriptor and socket state (so_state) etc. It holds state of connection.
For UDP/IP, it is easier. It probably works if TCP/IP works. It changes functions depending on TCP or UDP.
In addition, timer is used to send or receive data.
When -redir option is used, functions solisten and udp_listen are used to act as a server.
1. On host OS, right click on the sharing folder you want in Explore. Select property and select sharing tab.
Check in checkbox of sharing this folder on network and check in allowing to change files to network user. Set sharing name like "tmp".
2. On guest OS, right click on my network in Explore, select allocationg network drive.
Input a drive name like E: and a folder name of sharing folder in host OS like \\10.0.2.2\tmp , "tmp" is the name you set in host OS. then shared folder is shared as drive E:.
