Thanks for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. As an experiment, please try the following. Create a simple bridge,
brctl addbr br99 and edit the VM configurations to put them on br99 instead of br8. (Are you using libvirt, or starting them by hand. Please document how you configured them) Does the server now get the dhcp requests? ** Changed in: bridge-utils (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: bridge-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to bridge-utils in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/692775 Title: linking two virtual machines does not work -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
