Hi,

I am starting QEMU with option 

-netdev tap,id=mynet0,ifname=TAP_Ethernet,script=no,downscript=no

TAP_Ethernet is a TAP Windows Adapter v9 created using openVPN.

by this way, i am able to send data from windows to QEMU through TAP adapter.

    I have the same setup but that option doesn't work for me:
    
    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  -netdev tap,id=mynet0,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no
    qemu-system-sparc: warning: netdev mynet0 has no peer
    qemu-system-sparc: warning: nic lance.0 has no peer
    
    The VM starts but ping to any host on the LAN fails.  How do you
    have your tap device configured?
