                    <div>
                        Hello.  My networking skills are a bit limited (more of a beginning CGI programmer)...

I use Mandy 2008 spring at home.  I installed QEMU and the QEMU Launcher on it, which I then used to create a virtual machine running Ubuntu Server 7.10.  The purpose of this virtual machine is to be a testing environment for scripts and HTML before I upload them to my website.  (Side note: I wanted to use VirtualBox, but I couldn't get Ubuntu Server to boot inside Virtualbox -- something about a missing kernel module I think.)

From inside the VM, I can access the outside world (the internet) fine.  However, I would like to be able to access the VM from outside of the VM.  That is, to be able to do things like SSH into it from my Mandy desktop, and to access the web pages it is serving out.
I accomplished the latter by QEMU Launcher port forwarding feature, but it is a bit akward a setup.

Which of these options in the QEMU Launcher is the one I am looking for?:
- Use the user mode network stack
- Open a TUN/TAP interface
- Use an already open TUN/TAP interface
- Open a listening TCP socket
- Use an already open TCP socket
- Connect to a listening TCP socket
- Created shared VLAN via UDP multicast socket
- Use an already open UDP multicast socket

My main goal is to access the VM networking daemons (ssh, http, etc) from the host OS.  The VM doesn't have to be accessable from anywhere else on my network (though that wouldn't hurt anything).  Thanks in advance.<p class="hiddensignature">
