CentOS KVM Client Networking Setup
I need some help setting up networking to a KVM Client machine.
I have a laptop with 16GB of RAM, On which CentOS 6.5 is installed, I am accessing the internet via my Wifi. My "wlan0" attributes are (There is no ifcfg-wlan0 in my /etc/sysconfig/network-scr
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:25:9C:F4:BB:40
inet addr:192.168.1.120 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::225:9cff:fef4:bb40/6
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:3320703 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:4755265211 (4.4 GiB) TX bytes:189692669 (180.9 MiB)
i have installed KVM and configured a virtual network "virbr0", which is a default virtual network in KVM.Here is the info
Network : 192.168.122.0/24
DHCP start : 192.168.122.2
DHCP end : 192.168.122.254
#ifconfig on the server shows
virbr0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 52:54:00:91:1E:AE
inet addr:192.168.122.1 Bcast:192.168.122.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

TX packets:16 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:2030 (1.9 KiB) TX bytes:1818 (1.7 KiB)
Now I have installed a CentOS KVM virtual machine(Client), I dont have any networking configured so how do configure networking on this client so that I can access internet.
THank you

My VM is getting the DHCP address and I don't want my VM to be on the same network as my host. Since my laptop is connected to my router and accessing the outside network looks like even if I create a bridge between wlan0 and virbr0, Will this work...So that way my VM can access external network via the bridge, wlan0.
Agree.

Ok let me try it
If you don't want the VM to be on the same network segment as your host, select NAT under the NIC in the VM's properties. Also make sure you select a "Device Model" NIC that the VM is most likely to have a driver for, for example rtl8139 is common.

For some reason the bridge didn't work
