+
+## User mode network
+This is the default networking option for qemu. This does not require root previleges. If you have DHCP running it will take the ip as 10.0.2.15
+
+You can setup an ip 10.0.2.*
+Gateway is 10.0.2.2
+Name server is 10.0.2.3
+Netmask is 255.255.255.0
+
+You can setup the pfinet translator with the command
+<pre>
+settrans -fgap /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -a 10.0.2.15 -g 10.0.2.2 -m 255.255.255.0
+</pre>
+Configure nameserver in /etc/resolve.conf
+<pre>
+nameserver 10.0.2.3
+</pre>
+Setup a proxy with the command
+export http_proxy="http://<proxy.com>:<port>"
+
+Note: you can add this to your /etc/profile file so that every time you don't have to setup this.
+
+If you are using a direct connection to internet install a proxy server on the host os and use this. (I was not able to use it without proxy)
+
+You might be able to do it using iptables, some clues <http://sujith-h.livejournal.com/9520.html>
+
+Use scp,ftp... to transfer files
+
+Note: There is no /dev/urandom in Hurd/Mach yet so you will have to trick your ssh client to make it work
+   Use <http://ibofobi.dk/stuff/hurd-entropy/> translator 
+   or ln -s /bin/* /dev/urandom (use at your own risk ;-) )
+
+## (Other options)
+Someone who use other options ...
