[uml-user] Unable to connect to host

[Ravi S. <sha...@ya...>]

Hi,

I am trying to configure UML on a laptop, and connect between the host and UML using a
socket program. The network set up is done using ethertap mechanism. I believe that all
my configurations, routing etc is proper but am still not able to talk to host from UML
using sockets. Though, I can ping to host from UML. 

The configuration is done as follows:
UML started using:
xterm -bg brown  -e ./"Virtual Machine" ubd0=/gridiron/root_fs_Mars
eth0=ethertap,tap2,fe:fd:0:0:0:2,192.168.1.3

On host with IP address 9.72.69.157 - 
/sbin/route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 9.72.69.157

Inside UML:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.14 up
route add default gw 192.168.1.3
route del -net 192.168.1.0 dev eth0 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add -host 192.168.1.3 dev eth0

If I open a port inside UML, I am able to communicate to it, but the other way round is
not working. 

Can anybody please shed some light on it? 

Thanks for your help in advance,

Cheers,
Ravi
