Well, have a look at the .bat-file with a normal editor. It's not like
you'll need to understand rocket science to debug a batch file. I
suspect that this batch file is passing outdated command line options to
qemu, as there were some changes from 0.7.x to 0.8.x (e.g. networking)
with a look at qemu manual you should be able to fix the batch file (I
suppose it's using the old options). After fixing it it would be nice,
to post it to this list and the original author.

Have a nice weekend,
