I installed a new CentOS-6.3 kvm guest on a recently provisioned kvm
host also running CentOS-6.3. This guest will not connect to the
network and the host cannot connect to it via its public IP address. I
had previously installed a guest system on thst same kvm host using
the same ISO and that system connects to the network without problem.
I next created a third guest isntance and this too does not connect
with either the kvm host or the gateway. I have installed litterally
dozens of kvm guests this past year and I have never encountered this
situation. Has anyone else? Does anyone have any idea what might be
going on?
