AFAIK:
Client: configure the net interface for DHCP.
You'll get an address like 10.0.2.15 default route to 10.0.2.2 (or
something similar). Also the DNS access get forwarded through SLIRP.
There is a fake DNS @10.0.2.2 (or similar) and queries are forwarded.
Ping (ICMP) may have trouble but TCP works like a charm.
Host: nothing at all. Be connected to something... You'll access from
qemu what is connected to the host machine, nothing more ;-)
