KVM Networking Hell

[Jamie McDonald]

Soren,

You are correct, I cannot ping the gateway from the guest - however I can
from the host.

The output of 'brctl show' on the host is as follows

## START brctl output ###

$brctl show
bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
br0             8000.001999705a61       no                  eth0

vnet0
## END brctl output ##

>From looking at this it looks like I should have my guest configured to use
the vnet0 interface instead of br0?
Why when the testbox.xml VM configuration file is configured to use br0 is
vnet0 being created when I start the VM via virsh?

brtables has not been modified in any way.

Serge, thanks for your input but I can't really do a traceroute easily
because I can't connect this guest to the internet to download any packages
or dependancies for the tcptraceroute program.

It's really strange, the host and the guest communicate fine.

Any more ideas?

Kind Regards,
Jamie.
