1.1.1.1 is not a QEMU given IP.

Try manually assigning the IP 10.0.2.15/24(255.255.255.0) to the quest 
with a default route to 10.0.2.2. This should work.

It is quite possible the guest is not happy about something in the qemu 
DHCP reply. QEMU responds with a DHCP reply even if the client sent a 
BOOTP request and this can confuse some badly implemented BOOTP clients, 
and the number of DHCP options returned differ slightly from most DHCP 
servers possibly confusing some DHCP clients expecting additional options.
