Leopard added a new firewall feature that defaults to blocking all
incoming connections for each process/application.  You can see which
applications have been set up to allow connections in by going to the
System Preferecnes -> Security -> Firewall panel.

I'm not sure what Qemu sets up for its network layer these days, but I
run VMware and it created two entries in the firewall table: vmnet-
natd and natd that need to be set to allow incoming connections.  You
can also use ipfw to look at/shape the connections:

   sudo ipfw list

should tell you if you've got some ports still blocked--possible from
upgrading from a Tiger install.

Question: can you get from your Qemu Plan 9 instance to anything on
the outside network?  I found that a problem when trying to use Qemu--
I could never get my Plan 9 instance to get any packets out, let alone
in.
