netcfg: Configuring a bridge for use with virtual machines (VMs)

https://bbs.archlinux.org – I've been trying to make virt-manager do all the work to see if it's possible.  Seems that in order to do so, libvirt needs the ability to pass options to dnsmasq (and possibly script hooks), but that isn't something I can work on right now.I need this VM up and running this weekend, so I've at least managed to get NAT working.  But I was disappointed to find out that since I can't configure dnsmasq to pass DHCP options, I can't browse my SMB domain.With networks that use port-based network access control (particularly encrypted wireless networks), it se (HowTos)

Stories similar to netcfg: Configuring a bridge for use with virtual machines (VMs)

after I install libvirt-bin and ubuntu-virt-server etc, my resolv.conf auto reset by dnsmasq about every hour

I haven't install network-manager and resolvconf and I search for dnsmasq, only dnsmasq-base have been installed.

when I try to remove dnsmasq-base, libvirt-bin will be removed automatically

how to keep dns config not be changed?

I am looking to apply dhcp options to the dhcp server used with libvirt for Vm's I am using FC12

I want to do options like in dnsmasq .... dhcp-host=id:01:02:02:04,192.168.0.60 and Send options to hosts which ask for a DHCP lease. like in RFC 2132

alternatively what about disabling dhcp entirely for a virtual network?

I've been really frustrated by how little I've found on KVM setup, especially without virt-manager and virt-viewer. I can get the guest up and running, and I've seen the documentation on the ubuntu site, but I still can't figure out how to

a) configure the virtual network to be, say, 192.168.1.0/24

I am trying to set up a small "lab" at home. Like many modern homes, I have a regular DSL service which comes with a 2Wire 3600HGV router, which acts also as a DHCP server.

Dnsmasq is a lightweight server designed to provide DNS (and optionally DHCP and TFTP) services to a small-scale network. It can serve the names of local machines which are not in the global DNS.

I am sharing internet from eth1 to eth2. I do this by editing the eth2 properties and setting method to Shared to other computers.

I also use dnsmasq for dns caching. Now if I enable Internet sharing I have to stop the existing dnsmasq instance as network manager starts its own dnsmasq instance. But this new dnsmasq instance has no dns caching options.

Now my dns query is taking more time.

dnsmasq is a lightweight, open-source DNS forwarder and DHCP server. In this article we go through how to prepare the system in order to run dnsmasq and also how to configure the latter as a caching-only DNS server. A configuration file is also provided as a drop-in replacement for the default dnsmasq.conf that ships with your system.

I've been struggling to connect to my home wireless network, but up until now my Broadcom card has been able to at least detect the network. I know this because in Network manager, in the Add Network Connection dialog box, if I tell it to scan for wireless networks then I see my home network along with all the other local wireless networks.

I am attempting to configure WAMP on my development machine.

I would like to use it in conjunction with DD-WRT's DNSMasq feature to access multiple virtual hosts via aliases (dev1.local,dev2.local,etc.) over my local wireless network.

I've tried many things, but can't seem to get it all working together.

Has anyone done a similar setup in the past that could give me some direction?

So that my
