Configuring the TAP version of the HTTP server

[Peter Nguyen]

Hi,

OK, so now i've got the server up and running, and I can use the local 
web browser to access the address 10.0.0.16. However, I was under the 
impression that this IP address could be accessed by other machines. Am 
I right in saying this? Or is access to this server only restricted to 
other qemu instances?
