qemu will create a network segment just for the emulated system. You need 
to connect that segment using e.g. the "-net user" option (NAT) or to 
connect it using a tap device.

For setting up the TAP device, I found this:

(I think setting up ICS is not what you'd want, I'd try to skip it and 
just breate the bridge. That's what I did on Linux.)
