It turns out I did have everything correctly configured but it still
doesn't work. The problem is that I cannot get a DHCP address on my vm.
I can see the DHCP Request packets going out and can see the Replies
getting back to my physical card that I'm running tcpdump on. But for
some reason the vm doesn't get/see them. The host has no iptables rules,
all policies set to ACCEPT (yikes!).
I even tried 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/bootp_relay' but that
didn't help.
If I configure the vm nic with a static address (the one that my host
just gave up) then I can surf the net, even forward packets from my host
machine that no longer has a public ip address. Unfortunately that is
not an acceptable long term solution.
Some general questions, should br0 be up or down? What should my vm MAC
be? The same as my physical card (peth) which is also the same as the
bridge (br0)? The vnet0 does not match. (output later)
Somewhat related, I setup my internal nic as a bridge as well, but I
can't get the vm to get a dhcp address there either. Can one member of a
bridge get a dhcp address from another member of the bridge?
I'm running fedora 8 with kernel 2.6.23.15-137.fc8 if that makes any
difference.
