Yes, that line should be commented out. That is for situations when there is 
no dhcp server on the network the NIC is 
attached to. As I noted, qemu has a virtual router that runs a dhcp server. 
You did not tell us what is the output 
when, having freshly booted your BL qemu image, you issue the command 
ifconfig. Is eth0 listed there? Does it have an 
IP associated with it? This is crucial information we need to help you with 
this issue. Also, please tell us what OS 
is running on the host system uses and also which release of qemu you 
installed on the host system.
