Depending on your network, there could be some kind of firewall in between too. Probably the first thing to check for, is a). to the tcp port Libvirt should be listening on (16509). For example: $ telnet 192.168.1.8 16509 Trying 192.168.1.8... Connected to 192.168.1.8. Escape character is '^]'. If it makes a connection, then Libvirt is set up ok, and your problem is more likely a firewall. If it doesn't work, then the Libvirt configuration needs adjusting. You'd need to tell Libvirt to listen for tcp connections. That's easy, but the files to adjust depend on the version of Linux you're using. Which version of Linux are you using? :) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift
