This is really a qemu question.  You might find answers by looking over 
documentation at http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/ .  Qemu emulates an 
ne2000 network interface so, from the BL side of things, that module (and 
probably its helper module 8390) need to be insmod'd.  Then, dhcp 
(udhcpc?) needs to be run on the interface to request an IP: I don't even 
remember if BL2 does dhcp . . . anyone else know?  But the host OS must 
also be capable of providing certain pieces of the puzzle: Linux has 
tap/tun devices that are an important part of the virtual network and 
which must exist on the Linux (host) system for networking to work, Under 
Linux, you must also invoke qemu with certain switches for the virtual 
networking feature to be available.  How this would be done under M$Win 
would of course be different--if it can be done at all.  That's a question 
to pose to other Windows users who also use qemu--maybe on the qemu 
forums.  Getting networking going under qemu is kind of arcane, so unless 
you're ready to do a fair amount of research and experimentation you 
should probably stay away from it to and yourself some frustration.
