That's normal for user-mode / slirp networking. You can't ping external
hosts with this mode.

Ok, that means you're using user-mode / slirp networking.
I just tried it with a pseries guest, and it seems to be working fine
for me with the current git version of QEMU (f419a626c76bcb266).

Now, what kind of host do you use? Mac OS X?
Also can you determine a revision when it was still working fine for
you? (and then maybe even bisect the problem?)
