If I have dhcpd running on my machine, and I wish to run virt-manager on the same machine.... How do I do that - its telling me an error for starting the network and the error is that DHCPD is already running - port in use.
I'm mostly sure that if you want to run dhcpd, you just need to turn off the "default" network and use bridged networking instead.

Under virt-manager, connect to the local host, then right-click on the local host and open "Details." Switch to the Virtual Networks tab, and uncheck the Autostart: On Boot option.
Guests will get dhcp from the bridged network, and will be on the same broadcast domain as the KVM host.
