The easiest way to migrate is to simply use the same networking configuration as before: bridged networking. The difference is with lxc you have to create the brodge yourself. For example, if eth0 (and thus, the bridge) use dhcp: http://wiki.1tux.org/wiki/Ubuntu/Bridge#Bridging_a_real_network_interface > > I've come back around to looking at simply attaching all containers to > lxcbr0.

Instead of using lxcbr0 though (which comes with dnsmasq by default), I'd create my own bridge: http://wiki.1tux.org/wiki/Ubuntu/Bridge#Bridge_with_IP_address -- Fajar ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
