I'd recommend that you use remote-viewer (shipped with the virt-viewer
package) as a client instead of spicec.
You probably did not tell qemu/spice that it should listen on more than
localhost:
- -spice port=5900,addr=0.0.0.0 if you start qemu by hand
- <graphics type='spice' autoport='yes' listen='0.0.0.0'> if you use
  libvirt (which I strongly recommend)
