(note: i was tempted to post this to the "virt" list but i suspect it's something fairly trivial so i'll stick with the basic fedora list, at least for now.) on my new fedora 20 system, i installed all the crucial virt packages with: # yum groupinstall Virtualization then fired up VMM and selected to add my first VM, CentOS 6.5. however, early on, it became obvious that i wasn't going to get a network interface to that VM -- the menu for network interface selection was totally greyed out, which i thought was odd. after the installation of the VM, sure enough, i started up the centos VM and there was no (virtual) net connection to it. if memory serves, when i was running centos 6.5 as the *host*, and i created a fedora VM as a *guest*, the net connection was there automatically. i went into the VMM, selected the QEMU hypervisor, and used that to create a virtual network (device virbr0) as 192.168.100.0/24, and sure enough, net interface virbr0 is now active on my fedora 20 host. so as a test, i created a second centos 6.5 guest, and this time i can see an "eth0" interface, but it has no IP address, and trying to bring it up has no effect. so, short question -- what's the proper prep on my fedora 20 host to set up KVM/QEMU virtualization before i start creating VMs so that i have networking? when things were the other way around, and i had a centos host and was adding a fedora guest, networking just ... worked. i didn't have to mess with it at all. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
