Can you give the exact command line you used to launch QEMU when it did
not work?
I tested the official Guix QEMU image [0] using the instructions in our
manual section Running Guix in a Virtual Machine [1] and I could
successfully do `guix download http://example.com`.
Note that `ping` (ICMP) does not work in QEMU when using '-net user'.
So, don't use `ping` to test the network in QEMU. Use `guix download`
instead since that will always be available.
If it still doesn't work after following the instructions in the manual,
please let us know the results of `qemu-system-x86_64 --version` and
`uname -a`. Also let us know if you are using a firewall or anything
like that.
Happy to help,
Leo
