Ping does not use TCP/IP. It uses ICMP, which is a different protocol. QEMU has a variety of types of virtualized networking. The basic type does not support ICMP. You should use some other command to test the network. You could use `guix download https://gnu.org/index.html`. It has the advantage of not requiring any packages to be installed.
