From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No internet in virtual machine (suppo.fi)

I have on the host machine two network interfaces. One is lan and the other is a wlan. For libvirt I have created a nat network which is bound to the wlan. From the guest I can access other machines in the network host wlan is connected to. Also DNS lookup works. The problem is that there's no connection to the internet at all, e.g. pinging something gives "Destination network unreachable". ~~This only happens when both network connection on the host are active.~~ Running qemu/libvirt on OpenSuse Tumbleweed.

The nat network in question:

<network>
  <name>natToWlan</name>
  <uuid>a44c939c-e6bf-44d0-8f86-376056d418a4</uuid>
  <forward dev="wlp19s0f4u1u1" mode="nat">
    <nat>
      <port start="1024" end="65535"/>
    </nat>
    <interface dev="wlp19s0f4u1u1"/>
  </forward>
  <bridge name="virbr1" stp="on" delay="0"/>
  <mac address="52:54:00:1f:64:95"/>
  <ip address="192.168.100.1" netmask="255.255.255.0">
    <dhcp>
      <range start="192.168.100.128" end="192.168.100.254"/>
    </dhcp>
  </ip>
</network>

Your wlan
Your home lan
The internet

That makes three networks. Not two.

First, think about the way from the internet to your home lan. Is there NAT happening? Is there a DHCP server?

And then on the way from lan to wlan your server is doing NAT and DHCP again.

That doubling of NAT and/or DHCP is probably creating trouble.
