 With NAT mode enabled, QEMU launches a virtual network of 10.0.2.0/24.  The QEMU guest will be assigned the IP address 10.0.2.15.  The guest can access the Slackware x86 host at 10.0.2.2 and the QEMU DNS server runs at 10.0.2.3.  QEMU does not have direct access to the host's Local Area Network.  This means that the QEMU guest isn't assigned a physical IP address by your router DHCP service.  You will not be able to ping the QEMU guest from the host machine but the guest should be able to ping the host machine at 10.0.2.2.  The QEMU guest should be able to access the internet and communicate with the host machine. With NAT mode enabled, QEMU launches a virtual network of 10.0.2.0/24.  The QEMU guest will be assigned the IP address 10.0.2.15.  The guest can access the Slackware x86 host at 10.0.2.2 and the QEMU DNS server runs at 10.0.2.3.  QEMU does not have direct access to the host's Local Area Network.  This means that the QEMU guest isn't assigned a physical IP address by your router DHCP service.  You will not be able to ping the QEMU guest from the host machine but the guest should be able to ping the host machine at 10.0.2.2.  The QEMU guest should be able to access the internet and communicate with the host machine.
-==== Configure the Apache Mirror ==== +==== Configure a Web Server to Mirror Slackware ARM ====
-This step is very important and needs to be done correctly.  Incorrect settings will make your Slackware ARM guest unable to install Slackware.  Below are the suggested settings based on the host IP address and the location of the mirrored Slackware ARM tree.  Be sure to modify it to match your needs.+
  
-  * Log in as root. +There is a very simple way to share the ARM directory on the host with the ARM guests.  Use python and launch a basic web server like so: 
-  * Modify /etc/httpd/httpd.conf like so: + 
-<code> +<code> cd /slackwarearm && python -m SimpleHTTPServer</code> 
-..snip.. + 
-Listen 192.168.1.2:80 +The URL pointing to the mirror depends on the directory structure you used to store Slackwarearm on the qemu host.  The directory /slackwarearm/$SLACKREL was used earlier in this guide.  If you have mirrored slackwarearm-current, you would point your web browser at:  http://192.168.1.2:8000/slackwarearm-current/. 
-..snip.. + 
-DocumentRoot "/slackwarearm" +For a production environment, the Apache Web server (httpd on Slackware) may be more desirable.  Further directions to use Apache can be found [[howtos:network_services:setup_apache|here]].
-Directory "/slackwarearm"> +
-..snip.. +
-    AllowOverride All +
-    Order allow,deny +
-    Allow from all +
-</code> +
-  * Test to see if Apache will display your mirror by visiting the URL in a web browser.+
