Hi,Christopher,
 
Thanks, But still I'm a little confused.
 
Actually I don't need host to be a gateway. There're should be gate way's on that IDC center. So the gate way should be add to /etc/sysconfig/network, right?
 
And still, I have 2 ehtnet interface on my mainboard. So I should allocate eth1 an IP address for host, and only make eth0 as br0, and set guest OS IP address in guest OS network configuration, right?
 
Please help to check if this is the correct setting as bellow
 
/etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR=00:1a:4d:83:ad:00
BROADCAST=202.127.29.0
IPADDR=202.127.29.5
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=202.127.29.0
>
TYPE=Ethernet
 
/etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=00:1a:4d:83:ad:50  
>
BRIDGE=br0
 
/etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-br0
DEVICE=br0
TYPE=Bridge
BOOTPROTO=none
>
DELAY=0
 
will this work so host os and 2 guest oses all got their IP address? or I should modify something?
