I installed Windows XP like this:

qemu-img create windows.img -f qcow 6G
qemu-kvm -no-acpi -m 512 -cdrom /dev/cdrom -boot d windows.img

and then booted it by
qemu-kvm -no-acpi -m 512 -cdrom /dev/cdrom windows.img

I don't have that installation around anymore, but it definitely had net access.

HTH,
