Hi,

I'm having trouble creating a guest domain that uses dhcp for its address. I'm 
wondering if maybe someone can point out something simple I may be missing.

So here's my setup. Everything is all on one machine. We're running a dhcp 
server within a zone. I've confirmed that the server is up, and that it is 
handing out addresses. I have another zone set up that uses it, and I can halt 
and boot that zone and it gets an ip address from the server. So I can do this 
with a zone but not with a guest domU yet.

I've tried two approaches to getting the domU to get an IP address. One was to 
run a virt-install in which I explicitly choose to have the machine networked 
using dhcp. I bridge it over the same network interface that the zones are 
using. Unfortunately it always times out during the install and tells me it 
could not find a dhcp server.

The other thing I tried, and I think maybe this was misguided, it might only 
work for zones, but I installed a guest image without networking and then 
edited the sysidcfg file to enable dhcp, and then rebooted the guest. That 
didn't seem to work either.

I hope you can understand my rambling, but is there anything that comes to mind 
that I may be missing? Thanks for any help.

-Dan
