Indeed. Programs under 9vx can make outgoing connections but can't accept incoming ones because it doesn't really create a virtual machine -- 9vx makes the connections on behalf of the program. IIRC there was some additional code to add a proper ethernet device (via tap or pcap filtering) but I've never played with it. This program works under p9/qemu because qemu creates a proper VM (I then bridge its tap device with the underlying machine's phys ethernet). > try running 9fx as root on your unix box - though that would more > likely solve problems if the port number was < 1024. Yes. Here it is a different cause.
