Tried but no cigar. In the terminal i get "no vlan" or "vlan not
connected to host network" "Warning: vlan 0 with no nics"
Don't know what the"id=xxxx" is supposed to be.

I thought there was supposed to be a simple default network connection
without any needed setup. The qemu manpage seems to indicate there is a
default automatic network connection.
Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Don't know how many times Xp
can be re-certified before I get refused.
