DSL Embedded :: Network config

Hi all,

I just tried both the CD and embedded DSL version. So far, DSL rocks!

I got the CD boot version hooked up to the net but am having some trouble with the embedded version. I presume that others have got it working as an embedded Linux OS, as cool as the concept is, is not too useful without connection to the outside world.

In the embedded version, since I assume that DSL has no direct access to the hardware (i.e., the host OS Win XP does), how are the network calls resolved. Doesn't DSL's connection need to be bridged to the host machine's network connection?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Mike

Go to the qemu web site and read up on user networking.

It explains how the DSL emulator works with your host OS.

Thanks for the reply. I did try search the qemu site but didn't find anything too useful. The site tells you to configure the tun0 device which doesn't exist, and requires the TUN/TAP network interface (/dev/net/tun) which isn't present either.

Did you actually get networking working in the embedded version? If so, how did you accomplish this without the tun0 device? Has anyone got this working because as I see it, I don't see that it's possible without the tun0 device/driver.

Thanks,
Mike

You do not need a TAP/TUN device to do networking with a MSWindows host running DSL inside a QEMU window.

Here is the section that I was talking about:

http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/qemu-doc.html#SEC21

I overlooked that section you referred to.

It looks like I need to configure a few things but I'm unsure how to set a few of them. Specifically, Netcardconfig asks for:
1) Use DHCP broadcast?
2) IP address for eth0? I used 10.0.2.100
3) Network mask for eth0: 255.255.255.0 (default)
4) Broadcast address for eth0: 10.0.2.255 (default)
5) Default gateway: 10.0.2.2 (default)
6) Nameserver: 10.0.2.3 (default)

Do these look correct?

Have you been able to get this working? If so, could you explain to me how? Sorry, I'm not a network guru so I need a lot of help.

Thanks again,
Mike
