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..
