It's normal that "ping" (or rather ICMP) is not working by default with
the "-netdev user" backend. The "user" backend is using NAT. But you
should be able to get to the outside via TCP. See this URL for details:

Do you see a network interface in the guest? Does it have an IP address?
I.e. what's the output of "ifconfig" or "ip addr" in the guest? Does it behave
behave differently if you use another type of NIC, e.g. "virtio-net-pci"
instead of "e1000e"?
