recent attempt I see:
Virtual network 'default': NAT (Inactive)
as the entry under the Network Source drop-down in Virtual Machine
Manager's "Show Hardware Details" menu.
This is most likely PEBKAC but I'd be grateful for a newbie's guide
to
how this stuff should be set up without straying too far from
defaults.
My goal is pretty simple: a bridged network to get shared folders
with
my Fedora 23 host and Internet client access from the guest.
I still have no idea how this happened, but I found the fix here:

and it worked.
