When running the VM, you need to tell it details of what hardware you want it to emulate -- for example, an ethernet card. man pages will tell you the various options. You probably want -net nic,model=? to begin with. You will also need to read up on the various networking options that you have, including changing over your main system to use a bridge device or a NAT. -dsr-
