This has what to do with the original question???

Wrong computer times (or, I suspect in this case, wrong timezone setting)
are annoying but not worth spamming the mailing list. It's better to reply to
this in private.

Bochs can do this. It uses winpcap, which in turn edits raw packets in the
ethernet driver. Someone (I don't remember who) said this was possible for qemu
to do, but I have never seen any code for qemu to do this. So my conclusion is
still no. (I would love to be proved wrong.) BTW this question was answered
before on this list and you can find it if you search the mailing list archive.

If you mean to have -user-net put the guest pc on the host lan, that is not
possible, since user-net works via translating ethernet packets on the guest to
socket calls on the host.
