What you did on the host machine, only has to be done once when you setup the system to be used as a KVM host server. > So now, I've got the route, gateway, bridge, and eth0/1 defined on the > original.

How did you come up with the IP address ( 10.0.5.17 ) for the VM ? Are you sure it is not blocked somehow by your gateway ( at 10.0.5.1 ) ? Also, maybe your gateway ( at 10.0.5.1 ) is doing MAC address filtering? Since your VM has its own MAC address, this could be a problem.
