[one-users] Problem Login/ssh into vm

Clearly a routing problem. Your controller won't know how to route
packages that are addressed to your vm instance. Start to use tcpdump -i
<interface> in companion with ping on all the involved interfaces to
actually see where the packages go (and where not). Read and understand
your controllers routing table. You will probably find out that you need
to add a route to the controller's routing table (probably with route
add -net <host bridge ip> netmask <host bridge netmask> gw <host ip>).
Then see how packages arrive at the host. If packages still don't arrive
at the bridge, tell your hosts network stack to forward packages between
its interfaces, i.e. with echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward (in
debian; that setting will disappear after a reboot; make it persistent
in /etc/sysctl.conf).


Good luck!


Jens
