It's a limitation of Pcap, which most hobbyist/open source emulators use for Ethernet access on Windows and OS X (including QEMU, VICE, Basilisk II, and SheepShaver). Getting around it requires a kernel driver, like commercial (and quasi-commercial like VirtualBox) VM software uses.

People have staged DOOM LAN deathmatches with the MESS 486 driver successfully though, and I file share between emulated classic Macs in MESS and my physical PowerMac G5 all the time
