Re: [Qemu-discuss] Problem with sharing a folder between guest and host

[Alex]

I didn't say you have to - I said it's better :), because -nic is 
obsolete and can stop working in any new version of Qemu. Anyway, these 
options work for me:
-device e1000,netdev=host_files -netdev 
user,net=10.0.2.0/24,id=host_files,restrict=on,smb=/path/to/dir/,smbserver=10.0.2.4

If your windows installed NIC drivers correctly (check it - I'm not sure 
about XP), you'll be able to access host files at \\10.0.2.4\qemu\

There's plenty of info in qemu's man page - check it out.
