The list used to identify who was posting, I liked it better that way.  
Anyway, I am running Windows XP sp 1, the version of QEMU is 0.9.0, supposed 
to be the latest. I downloaded the QEMU BL 3.4 yesterday from the official BL 
site.  When using ifconfig I get no mention of eth0 but I did get the 
following info:  Link encap:Local loopback, inet addr:127.0.0.1,  Mask 
255.0.0.0 UP, LOOPBACK RUNNING, MTU: 3924, Metric:1.  This version of QEMU 
seems to be faster than the one I was working with a year ago.  Hope this 
info helps...
