The guest is set up to get its configuration via dhcp, alternative it is 
assigned the address 10.0.2.16 (instead of 10.0.2.15 if dhcp would have 
worked). Obviously the traffic into the guest fails, where as the traffic out 
of the guest works (see the "info usernet" output). This is also shown in the 
status window of the lan connection. I can see outgoing packets, but no 
incomming (at least with the pcnet card, with the rtl8139 I see the 
connections in the qemu-console but in the status window of the lan connection 
within xp there are no in/out packets counted). Obviously the network card has 
an influence to the (partial) working, so I tried the virtio card. No change, 
still just outgoing packages :-(

No to both. The traffic goes outside properly as we can see from the responses 
of the printers to the question on the 1900 port.
