problems with first linux OS install

[Ole]

Hi I have struggeled with the configuration of hte network but I thought I had it all right..

when I now loog at the network tab I see eth (no info behind) and two vmbr0 adn vmbr1 that has the ip , gateway etc correct..

So I then start to install first vm adn in the network tab I choose the vmbr1 and add the Mac adress.. Install of ISO start fine but when it starts to try to get info from net it struggle. I am not able to do a dhcp so I put in all ip manually and dns servers, when it install try to get the time server, package servers it fails..

Any thought of what is wrong?

I am starting thinking if the etho should have my first ip ? and then the vmbr0 should have the second ip..
Is this why the VM cant fidn the nett?

Hi,
vmbr0 and vmbr1? This means you have two bridges and also two connected NICs?
I guess not.

eth0 has normaly no IP and is connected to the bridge vmbr0 (which has IP and gateway-entry).
If you create an VM, simply use bridged network and use vmbr0 - than your VM are in the same network like the host and can use an IP of this network-range (an bridge is like an network hub - any connected interface see the same traffic).

If you on an hosted server this can be different (some IP-ragnes/networks on one interface without seperation due vlans, or only single mac-addresses allowed...).

How looks your interface-file?

cat /etc/network/interface
