Networking SunOS 4.1 guest with Windows 11 host

I'm running QEMU 7.2 on a Windows 11 host, up to date with all updates:

C:\Program Files\qemu>qemu-system-sparc --version
QEMU emulator version 7.2.0 (v7.2.0-11948-ge6523b71fc-dirty)
Copyright (c) 2003-2022 Fabrice Bellard and the QEMU Project developers


I want to run a SunOS 4.1.4 guest with networking.  I start it like this:

C:\Program Files\qemu>qemu-system-sparc -machine SS-5 -m 64 -drive file=sunos-hdd.img,bus=0,unit=3,media=disk -device scsi-cd,channel=0,scsi-id=6,id=cdrom,drive=cdrom,physical_block_size=512 -drive if=none,file=Solaris1.1.2SPARC.iso,media=cdrom,id=cdrom -vga cg3
-net nic,model=lance
-net tap,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no


I was able to boot from the iso and install SunOS on the .img disk, but I am unable to see my 192.168.0.x LAN from the guest.   ping 192.168.0.1 (the router) fails.  The host firewall is turned off.

The QEMU console shows this:




The Windows host Network Connections pane shows this:




The SunOS guest shows this:



but I have no connectivity to the LAN.  There are many many examples on the web of how to do this, but they all use deprecated features or just don't work at all (for me).  One thing I've not been able to find is how to configure the tap interface on the PC.  Should it be bridged or not?  Should I set a static IP and gateway there or not?

Any help on sorting this out would be most appreciated.
