The list used to identify who was posting, I liked it better that way.
Anyway, I am running Windows XP sp 1, the version of QEMU is 0.9.0, supposed
to be the latest. I downloaded the QEMU BL 3.4 yesterday from the official BL
site. When using ifconfig I get no mention of eth0 but I did get the
following info: Link encap:Local loopback, inet addr:127.0.0.1, Mask
255.0.0.0 UP, LOOPBACK RUNNING, MTU: 3924, Metric:1. This version of QEMU
seems to be faster than the one I was working with a year ago. Hope this
info helps...
