There's more to it: you need to set up a network interface. Read Chapter
15 of Readme.txt
http://dosemu.sourceforge.net/docs/README/1.2/t1.html
for details.

Stas mentioned brctl -- that's advanced configuration; with the above all
you have is an internal (to the machine) network with the Linux box on
(say) 192.168.1.1 and the DOSEMU box on (say) 192.168.1.2.

Bridging comes in handy if you're talking to the outside world
http://edeca.net/articles/bridging/
says how this works in user mode linux (UML). DOSEMU works likewise.
