Thanks again!
Can you tell me the difference in setting things up that way as opposed
to updating (in Ubuntu) /etc/network/interfaces and adding physical
br(idge) interfaces? On my other test box, I setup networks the way you
describe from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Networking

virt-manager is what I'm talking about (don't know what you mean by
"VMmanager"). Probably the dialogs have changed - mine is v1.2.1.
0.9.5
sounds a bit old, you should see if there is a backport of a newer
version somewhere for whatever distro you're running.
Alternately, it is dirt simple to create a new network that has no IP
address associated with it. Just do this:
1) create a file with these contents:
<network>
<name>mynetname</name>
</network>
2) "virsh net-define filename.xml" (where filename.xml is the file
containing the above XML)
3) "virsh net-autostart mynetname; virsh net-start mynetname"
(all these run as root)
