Hi guys, I'm trying to sort out networking for a VM I've created on my Ubuntu Lucid box but the VM cannot access the Internet. I can connect to the VM (crisps) from the host (holly) and to the host from the VM. But the VM cannot connect to the Internet and the Internet cannot connect to the VM. I followed the guide here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM I created it using ubuntu-vm-builder using : ubuntu-vm-builder kvm lucid \ --domain crisps \ --dest crisps \ --arch amd64 \ --hostname crisps \ --mem 2048 \ --rootsize 4096 \ --swapsize 1024 \ --user magicalusernameofdoom \ --pass somesecretawesomepassword \ --ip 178.63.60.159 \ --mask 255.255.255.192 \ --bcast 178.63.60.191 \ --gw 178.63.60.129 \ --dns 213.133.99.99 \ --mirror http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu \ --components main,universe,restricted,multiverse \ --addpkg openssh-server \ --libvirt qemu:///system \ --bridge br0; "virsh start crisps" starts the vm up : root 29297 0.5 3.3 2280396 271220 ?
