Thanks for the input.

Then, I suppose there's no way to assign the IP on boot without DHCP, there is?

Can it be done without using <network> type elements?

Regards,

  Francisco.

Yes. Create a network definition, specify a host element to the dhcp
definition, attach the machine to the created bridge and it should work.

<network>
 <name>sample</name>
 <forward dev='eth0' mode='nat'/>
 <bridge name='intbr0' stp='on' forwardDelay='0' />
 <ip address='192.168.122.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'>
   <dhcp>
     <range start='192.168.122.2' end='192.168.122.254' />
     <host mac='AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF' ip='192.168.122.102'/>
   </dhcp>
 </ip>
</network>

Snippet for the domain definition:

<interface type='bridge'>
 <mac address='AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF'/>
 <source bridge='intbr0'/>
 <target dev='vnet0'/>
</interface>

Is dnsmasq installed and running? Does the guest system use dhcp?
