Debian LXC container cannot ping outside world


Hello.

I'm trying to create an LXC container in debian 8 linux.

Until now i have done these:

@HOST

1) Bridge interface at /etc/network/interfaces

Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

# Bridge interface
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
bridge_ports none
bridge_fd 2.0
bridge_maxwait 1
and ifconfig returns

Quote:
br0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
Then for the guest i edited the /var/lib/lxc/CONT/config file

Code:
# Template used to create this container: /usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-debian
# Parameters passed to the template: -r jessie
# For additional config options, please look at lxc.container.conf(5)
#lxc.network.type = empty
lxc.rootfs = /var/lib/lxc/CONT/rootfs

# Common configuration
lxc.include = /usr/share/lxc/config/debian.common.conf

# Container specific configuration
lxc.mount = /var/lib/lxc/CONT/fstab
lxc.utsname = CONT
lxc.arch = amd64
lxc.autodev = 1
lxc.kmsg = 0
lxc.start.auto = 1

# Network config
lxc.network.type = veth
lxc.network.flags = up
lxc.network.link = br0
lxc.network.hwaddr = 00:16:3e:6c:7c:79
lxc.network.ipv4=192.168.1.2/24
lxc.network.ipv4.gateway=192.168.1.1
lxc.network.name=veth0
lxc.network.veth.pair = vethCONT
and now If i start the container ifconfig @ host returns :

In the host also i have a dnsmasq service listening for requests at br0 interface

Also i have add this iptables rule
Code:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.1.1/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
Quote:
# Generated by iptables-save v1.4.21 on Wed Apr 19 14:50:13 2017

brctl show command returns :
Code:
bridge name	bridge id		STP enabled	interfaces
br0		8000.fee38fbbfb64	no		vethCONT
@ GUEST

I edited the /etc/network/interfaces
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp

auto veth0
iface veth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1
and ifconfig returns :

Quote:

RX bytes:13221 (12.9 KiB) TX bytes:9171 (8.9 KiB)
The think is that If i try to ping ww.google.com from Guest I'm getting this error:
Quote:
ping: unknown host www.google.com
