Re: Qemu 0.10.50 CAN NOT get ip from dhcp server

[Sterling Windmill <sterling@ampx.net>]

I have noticed the same thing with KVM-87 and either the e1000 or the rtl8139 network models. I am on a 64-bit 2.6.18 RHEL 5.3 kernel with an Intel Q9300 processor.

Even statically assigning an IP to my bridged guest doesn't allow it to communicate with my network.

Specifying virtio as the NIC model allows a Fedora 11 live CD to network properly. KVM-86 allows the same Fedora 11 live CD to network properly regardless of which NIC model I choose.

Subject: Qemu 0.10.50 CAN NOT get ip from dhcp server 

I notice that, when i use qemu 0.10.50 (which from kvm-0.87.tar.gz), the 
guest OS CAN NOT get the ip from dhcp server. 
When i use qemu 0.10.0 (which from debian's kvm-0.85 package), the guest 
OS CAN get the ip from the SAME dhcp server. 

Please help, thank you. 

My kvm network use bridge mode
