I don't know if there is any way to change the existing virtual machines other than editing the xml file. Here's what the network related xml looks like in one of my bridged machines: <interface type='bridge'> <mac address='52:54:00:78:24:5b'/> <source bridge='br0'/> <target dev='vnet0'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x05' function='0x0'/> </interface> virsh edit machine-name will bring up $EDITOR on the raw xml files and let you change things. On a new machine install there is an "Advanced" button on the last page virt-manager displays and you can press that to make the network choices visible and pick bridge. If you get everything switched to bridge and you never ever want to use the nat default stuff again, you can even do this: virsh net-destroy default virsh net-undefine default Then the nat infrastructure won't be created by libvirtd and bridge will be the only choice in virt-manager when installing new machines so you won't have to explicitly select it. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
