I just downloaded the embedded version of DSL, I run it in my XP, everything works fine. But then when I tried qemu -redir to connection to SSH, it doesnot work. Here's what I've done:
1, use the .bat file to fire up DSL
2, go to cpanel to start SSHD
3, go back to host and run qemu -redir tcp:22::22
4, try ssh from host to guest
5, connection refused

I can connect to SSH inside the guest DSL machine. Can anyone help me?

its easier to get out on the guest than it is to get in... ie.... you could ssh to windows easy with sshd running on windows

I've just been bitten by this. Apparently, it's a known (but not published) bug with SLIRP. The solution: instead of
ssh localhost
do
ssh 111.222.111.222

where 111.222.111.222 is any IP address associated with your host machine (eg eth0) that is not localhost/127.0.0.0.1
