OK, I red that and now I'm starting my VM with the command:

qemu-system-x86_64 -net nic -net user,smb=/mnt/windows7 -cpu core2duo -m 1024 -k hu -enable-kvm -usbdevice tablet /var/lib/libvirt/images/win7.qcow2

Still, when I'm trying to acess the \\10.0.2.4\qemu in Windows explorer, I get nothing. The error message is about that that the server is not responding, saying something about time..

Can you ping that ip adress from Windows?

I can't ping 10.0.2.4 IP address from Windows.

I don't think ping will ever work for user networking, this should be fine.

Second: do you have filesharing enabled in the Windows vm (and instructed the firewall to allow that)?

I think I have filesharing enabled in the Windows vm (and instructed the firewall to allow that)

because I did setup on Windows vm this by following these steps: http://swerdna.dyndns.org/susesambawin7.html

I can't access that url.

Still, I'm not sure in that that what did I on Windows vm, because: 1. the \\10.0.2.4\qemu directory is on the host GNU/Linux system, right, 2. the directory I shared on the Windows vm is a directory on that Windows vm system

so these two settings is for different things, right?

That's right, for 1. you're fine with user networking (-net user,smb=...), but for 2. you will need something better to be able to access the guest system from the host. See the subsections of QEMU#Networking [1] on the wiki. [1]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/QEMU#Networking
