Greetings Laine, you are correct, this prints are from a non libvirt network config, the following are, they show the same issue I've deleted the rest of the mail it isn't relevant: there are two vms: Id Name State ---------------------------------------------------- 1 router running 5 TvHeadend_server running and the following network: Name State Autostart Persistent ---------------------------------------------------------- default active yes yes Name: default UUID: 735c1a37-5af8-4cad-a620-6f55046060dd Active: yes Persistent: yes Autostart: yes Bridge: virtsw0
