I''ve just started playing with virtualization on F8 and (amongst other things...) I''m having a hard time figuring out: a) what I need to do to get IP networking properly working between VMs and the outside world. b) where/what networking scripts/config files are VM related, and that are run at system startup time, or even VM startup time??? c) what are my options for VM-to-world networking? d) what options/techniques does: ''System->Virtual Machine Manager'' choose when reconfig''ing the host system and defining how the VM is started/connected. I''m specifically interested in QEMU based VMs, because: a) I don''t have the hardware for KQEMU based VMs, b) I haven''t been able to figure out how to build a XEN based VM either. So when running my QEMU based VMs I''m (currently) just booting a std kernel, not the XEN based kernel. I''ve tried RTFM''ing and I''ve tried searching back a few months on this list for clues, and haven''t (yet) found a description of the networking options, or how or what I need to do to get it to work properly. Is there a good HowTo somewhere? TIA Fulko

Re: [Fedora-xen] where is XEN/VM networking defined?
