An help would be great! Sorry for replying with a link, but please read instructions at: [1] http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Networking [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_virtualization#Networking_Support [3] http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Networking I assume that you're interested in "public bridge" scenario, that is your guest can connect to the network and other hosts can reach the guest host. You also want to have static IP assigned to your guest OS. Solution is that you configure your bridge networking according to instructions in 1, 2, 3 and then set up static IP addresses on network interfaces inside your guests. It's up to guest host how (static vs dynamic) its network interfaces are configured.
