DSL Embedded :: No network with Embedded on XP

I can't get the qemu session to talk to the network. Using the latest 0.9.2 embedded on my corp XP professional box. Note that this box is using BlackICE software firewall.

I started qemu using the supplied dsl-windows.bat file (which has the -append argument)

ifconfig reports that my IP is 10.0.2.15. I also noted that the hosts file was the default DSL one with no changes.

My XP machine IP is 136.171.202.34

Should qemu be picking this up automatically?? Will the qemu session have a different IP than my machine?

(I've read most of the forum notes looking for ideas but the network part seems to be working for almost everyone...or they aren't really complaining about it.)

Help please....

FYI... I'm running an IBM T42 notebook (w/integrated 1GB ethernet)

I turned off the firewall thinking that maybe BlackIce thought the computer was trying to attack itself (or the virtual box was a seperate machine) but it didn't change anything when I started qemu back up. Still no network access (that I can tell).

the GB ethernet might be what's causing the problem, but I doubt it.

Black Ice is very unforgiving to virtual machines. You might consider switching to ZoneAlarm Pro.

It's a much better firewall, easier to set up, etc.

Or even the free version of ZA. It rocks too.

-J.P.

No can do. BlackIce is our corporate standard. Our VPN servers even check to make sure it's running before they'll let you connect to them.

It didn't seem to be the problem anyway, as I disabled the service and then tried qemu again with the same result.

Anyone else want to take a stab at a possible solution to this one??

With a network connection, embedded is just an an isolated island in a pool of memory for me.
