This is exactly what I'm talking about, and this is something that has been observed by other 2 reporters too: only _older_ installs of winXP shows this issue, fresh installs does not. Hence I tried to install wiXP in older version of kvm, starting with 0.11, but all my guests shows perfectly working networking after switching to 0.15. Maybe - very unlikely but may be - this is related to a combination of kernel + kvm - so I tried running 2.6.32 kernel and 0.11 kvm to install one of my guests - but it too is running fine after upgrading kvm (and kernel) to current versions. I have older winXP guests - installed long time ago, I dunno the kvm version of their install however, maybe 0.12 maybe earlier. These all works fine too. This also may be due to a combination of kernel + kvm + libvirt, but so far I never ever used libvirt, always using command line directly to run kvm guests. Maybe it was due to some extra kvm switch (-no-acpi or something) used when installing the guest - I dunno. Maybe you can provide me your non-working guest image for testing, - maybe that will help. But I think I already asked this question before, with no answer from either 3 of you. Just don't damage the non-working guest yet, keep it safe, because currently it is priceless since there's no known way to reproduce it, and any networking-related manipulation may just fix it... ;) (But if such fixing manipulation is found we may consider this bug fixed, too, which is a great progress).
