[one-users] Problem Login/ssh into vm

I'm am writing again to clarify I fixed the 1st problem.
I was trying to ssh from the root at node instead of oneadmin at node(which I
never used before). I can successfully ssh, change root password :) Thank
you very much for your ideas.

I am not able to do such from oneadmin at controller though(controller->vm,
instead of host->vm). Ssh and ping both fail and I don't understand how
tcpdump works.
I did find that there is a problem with the way opennebula works with
ip/mac address of vm's and that a special script is needed to correctly map
them, but I don't really understand what is going on.

Specifically I found:
(1)
http://lists.opennebula.org/pipermail/users-opennebula.org/2011-December/007042.html

"Using the CONTEXT cdrom, the init.sh script in executed at boot time. You
can modify the init.sh script to set your broadcast address and netmask.
You can hardcode these values, or pass them as a CONTEXT sub-attribute;
take a look at the DNS example from the contextualization guide:
"

(3)
http://serverfault.com/questions/331145/bridging-virtual-networking-into-real-lan-on-a-opennebula-cluster
OpenNebula, by design, doesn't actually manage IP addresses even though
it maintains a pool of them and "leases" them out. What it's really
doing is assigning a MAC address to the virtual ethernet interface that
has the desired IP address encoded in the last 4 bytes of the MAC
address, and it's up to the OS to recognize that and assign an IP
appropriately.
