Hi,

I am setting up a version of Fedora 9 and trying to use the virtual machine manager to create a guest OS. Specifically I am using the 'Create a new virtual system' wizard.

Whenever I try to bind a guest OS to the host network on the 'Connect to host network' page, it gives me two choices, Virtual Network or Shared Physical Device.

I want to use a Shared Physical Device but whenever I choose the drop down menu, it shows the following 'eth1 not bridged' and it is grayed out.

In an attempt to circumvent this problem, I installed a 3com 3c905 TXM in the machine hoping I could use the second interface instead.

After trying again, the drop down for the 'shared physical device' shows both ethernet devices, both grayed out and both displaying the following respectively.

eth0 (Not bridged)
eth1 (Not Bridged)

I found a resource on the Internet that showed a procedure to correct this but it did not work. I will paste the link to this tutorial below ...

This tutorial did not seem to solve the problem. The bridge network card never appears in the 'Network Configuration' and I don't currently have a way to resolve this.

I am totally stumped, I need some help.

Please help me ...

hi leland,

I followed the link you give there, and one of the comments at the end of the tutorial is that if network manager is running in Fedora, bridging will not work? you might wanna look into that...

best of luck!
