When running the VM, you need to tell it details of what
hardware you want it to emulate -- for example, an ethernet
card.

man pages will tell you the various options. You probably want
-net nic,model=? to begin with.

You will also need to read up on the various networking options
that you have, including changing over your main system to use
a bridge device or a NAT.
