Have a look at this article: http://sysnotes.hia.no/2007/09/21/how-to-fix-network-bridging-for-qemu/

It may give you some ideas although it is for Linux. The basic premise is to make qemu emulate the guest host so it appears as any other physical host on the network. It may work better.

Are you actually sure that you actually need tap?

Good question.  My reason for running Win2K server under QEMU is I'm
working on a java app that speaks to SQLServer.  Initially, all I need
is to communicate with the host/guest on the same machine.  After
that, I'll need the QEMU guest to be on the network so I can connect
to the java app from other computers.

A lot of the how-tos are out of date

I've noticed that :(

- recent versions of Qemu can give a guest network access without
it.

When I started QEMU with the -net nic -net user switches, then Windows
gets a 10. address and the guest can see the network.  However, I
cannot see open ports I'm interested in, 1433 and 3389, from the host.


I understand it when you run a guest without any networking switches,
it sees an emulated ethernet interface that behaves as if it's
connected to a basic NAT router. This emulation is running as an
ordinary user in the host, so it can't do anything that requires root
access - which is why you can't ping out. And because of the NAT you
can't make incoming connections to the guest (which prevents incoming
pings).

IIRC there is some kind of redirection switch that will allow you to
connect to guest ports via ports on the host (analogous to the port
forwarding on a NAT router).
