Thank you for the tips. There was nothing of interest in the libvirt logs and dnsmasq seems to be installed correctly, but perhaps this configuration information will help: LC_ALL=C PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin HOME=/root USER=root LOGNAME=root QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=spice /usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc-0.15 -cpu core2duo,+lahf_lm,+osxsave,+xsave,+sse4.1,+pdcm,+xtpr,+cx16,+tm2,+est,+vmx,+ds_cpl,+dtes64,+pbe,+tm,+ht,+ss,+acpi,+ds -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 -name KubuntuLiveCD -uuid bfe78349-5409-d439-3ba5-545ada8727bc -nodefconfig -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/BootDiskTest.monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=utc -no-reboot -no-shutdown -device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1.0x2 -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -drive file=/home/borden/kubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso,if=none,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw -device ide-cd,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0,bootindex=1 -netdev tap,fd=20,id=hostnet0 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:e3:80:11,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=charserial0,id=serial0 -chardev spicevmc,id=charchannel0,name=vdagent -device virtserialport,bus=virtio-serial0.0,nr=1,chardev=charchannel0,id=channel0,name=com.redhat.spice.0 -spice port=5900,addr=127.0.0.1,disable-ticketing -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=67108864 -device intel-hda,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -device hda-duplex,id=sound0-codec0,bus=sound0.0,cad=0 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6 It turns out when I was poking through dmesg that I discovered that Firestarter was, indeed, blocking the virtual machines from getting an IP address. Which ports/services do I have to open in the firewall to let DHCP do its work? I can't find anything in the documentation which says that firewalls can cause problems. Perhaps someone should mention that? The problem isn't quite solved yet. Although the virtual machines can an IP address, they cannot connect to the Internet. The connections time out when I try to connect out. Suggestions?
