I think I have my answer: The kernel is busted (or something isn't loaded that I need, but don't know about :-). I copied my Fedora 20 desktop 3.15.8-200.fc20.x86_64 kernel and /lib/module files to the centos7 KVM host, rebuilt grub.cfg, and rebooted into the 3.15.8-200 kernel, and with no other

It is much easier if you use ELRepo's kernel-ml (http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-ml). Does look like a better long term solution, fedora was just a hack for testing :-). I guess it is time to make yet another bugzilla account and submit a bug... Yes, good idea. And here it is:

Nope. The kernel is not busted. You just need to add a few rules to your firewall in order to tell it to forward the packets appropriately. While you do need net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 line in /etc/sysctl.conf, and you also need to set /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward to 1 if you have not rebooted

I just replaced a dead system disk on my KVM host that was running an ancient fedora 13. Since centos 7 was available, I decided to go with it to get some long term stability. The problem is that NFS mounts inside the virtual machines don't work for spit when talking to older NFS servers that

If you look inside the ICMP packet in wireshark, it will tell you who sent it and what MTU they said was acceptable. Well, I'm definitely drowning in network confusion here :-). Everyone's MTU is the default 1500, I checked all systems in the path. The wireshark display says 1516 in the
