Hi all, I've successfully installed KVM (version 83 with 2.6.28 kernel) and windows as guest. I start it with kvm -net nic,macaddr=46:0e:b3:53:9f:3a \ -net user -localtime -smb /home/horn \ ~/kvm/windows.img and basically it works fine. I have network access in the guest, performance is fine and every application I need seems to work well. The only thing which doesn't work is accessing my $HOME on the host from the guest. My $HOME is /home/horn and reading the kvm man page it seems clear that with that I should be able to access the dir using \\smbserver\qemu. I added the line "10.0.2.4 smbserver" in the lmhosts file, too. But the connection always fails. Samba is installed on the host (/usr/sbin/smbd exists), CIFS support is in the kernel. But "ps -e" doesn't show a smbd process when the guest is started. I also tried starting smbd before starting the guest, but still no luck. When on the guest I can ping 10.0.2.2 but not 10.0.2.4. Reading the kvm man page I see that this is the built-in TFTP server, but why is it activated? I didn't specify "-tftp dir" on the command line... Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Or does someone know how to debug what's the problem? Thanks a lot for any pointers!
