[CentOS] kvm-amd on centos 5

Hi all,

I am playing with kvm-amd on my centos 5 x86_64 laptop. I am using 
2.6.23 as a second boot option
to the standard centos 5 kernel.

I have everything up and running except for the network.
My laptop is a static 192.168.1.150 and the kvm comes up as 10.X.X.X.

I cant ping my laptop or anything in the world.

Is there a trick that someone knows about to get network to startup?

I'd like to have it on its own 192.168.1.X address if possible.

Thanks,

Jerry
