In contrast to VMWare, it doesn't have special support for fancy networking options (i.e. vmware automatic bridging), but it creates an ordinary tap device which you have to bridge by yourself to your physical NIC so it can talk to the outside world. Have you done that? Apart from that, does VirtualBox work for you? I tried it a few days ago and found it cannot survive an ordinary buildworld because something's apparently messed up with context switches & signal delivery.
