"-net tap" vs "-net user" rings the bell for me. There is a known (for
me) problem with Windows S3 resume + networking. It appears that Windows
enables NIC receive interrupt before it registers NIC's interrupt handler
(only on S3 resume! On regular boot the order is different). If interrupt
arrives before NIC's interrupt handler is registered Windows hangs because
interrupt condition is never cleared in the NIC. On real hardware this
is not happening because relatively long time passes between enabling
link and receiving a first packet. With "-net user" guest never receives
unsolicited packet, with "-net tap" there are always enough broadcasts
to trigger the problem.
