[solution: use an IP address which isn't localhost, eg that of eth0]

Unfortunately, searching for "qemu redir"  or "qemu redir broken" leads 
mainly to copies of the manual, and to a couple of unanswered threads 
about people with the same problem.

Can I suggest that this should be mentioned on this page:

Thanks once again for your help,
