In the event your Windows Guest does not require network isolation by traversing NAT (for security purposes) using Scream over the LAN will yield a overall better experience to using the IVSHMEM drivers. Setup is also simpler.

  • The Guest needs to have a VirtIO Network Adapter installed. This includes:
    • Creating a Bridged Network Adapter on the Host
    • Passing that Bridged Adapter to the Guest
    • Installing the VirtIO drivers on the Guest.
