Using the HTTP server via TAP

[mx at ...19...]

Hi Peter,
 
I'm not sure if I've got your setup right or not.
 
You have a host operating system (guess linux) with two qemu instances, one
running Windows XP and the other running genode with the webserver.
 
Your host system also runs a dhcp server which assigns the same ip address to
both qemu instances.
 
This assignment could be caused by the fact that both qemu instances have the
same mac address.
 
The 10.02 release notes state that the nic driver "fakes an ethernet NIC with
the MAC address 02-00-00-00-00-01". Where could that MAC address come from? The
driver obtains it from qemu in dde_tx_handler:
 
dde_linux26_net_get_mac_addr(1, (unsigned char*)_mac_addr.addr);
 
 
This schould be exactly that MAC address you shoud have configured when starting
up qemu (did you?):
 
This could look like "-net nic,model=pcnet,macaddr=00:81:71:61:51:41"
 
Perhaps you forgot this step?
 
If you haven't, it would be helpful if you provided a Wireshark trace taken from
your tap interface.
 
Cheers
 
Sven
