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

Yes, but, I guess I need to read it a number of more times before I'll be able to try to map the techniques and naming conventions mentioned on that page, to what I see happening (or not happening in some cases) in F8.
