Description lalebarde 2010-11-13 23:42:59 UTC

The documentation http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/KVM for Enabling the access to Internet says : "The key to this approach is to make sure you have unique mac addresses on both the host's tuntap interface as well as the guest.", what does not work. The MAC address shall be different.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use same MAC address
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Host cannot ping the guest, and guest cannot ping the host nor access of course the web.

Expected Results:  
ping in both direction shall work and guest shall access the web.

It would be nice to add also in the doc that : 
"the host bridge ip corresponds to the guest gateway ip".
