    Hi everyone !
    Sorry for my very bad english :D
    I tried to install kvm for virtualization on a Hetzner EQ4 server and i would like to use the 3 addtional ip for 3 virtual machine..but i have a little problem: the virtual machine seem to working fine, it take the assigned ip address..but after some minutes it lost connection! The virtual machine continue to work, but without connection: i try to connect them using vnc through ssh tunnel on the host machine, and i can login, but there isn't external connection.
    The machine is unreachable also from host machine.
    So, after some minutes, the network restart to working always for some minutes, then i lost the connection again.
    The connection with host server workin always fine.
    This is my configuration:
    Host : Debian minimal (with only package kvm libvirt-bin virtinst bridge-utils fail2ban vim-nox)
    Guest : Debian Lenny installed with virt-install
    I modified only /etc/sysctl.conf that actualy is
    Code:
    net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter=1
    net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts=1
    
    net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
    net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
    net.ipv4.conf.default.proxy_arp=1
    
    and /etc/network/interfaces that actualy is
    Code:
    # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
    # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
    
    # The loopback network interface
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    
    # The primary network interface
    #allow-hotplug eth0
    #iface eth0 inet dhcp
    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet manual
    
    auto br0
    iface br0 inet static
    	address   xxx.xxx.xxx.106
    	broadcast xx.xxx.xxx.127
     	netmask   255.255.255.224
     	gateway   xx.xxx.xxx.97
            bridge_ports eth0
            bridge_fd 9
            bridge_hello 2
            bridge_maxage 12
            bridge_stp off
    
    All other file are untoched
    On virtual machine i assigned the new ip (xx.xxx.xxx.117) and the host address as gateway (xxx.xxx.xxx.106)
    my ifconfig return

    It's normal that br0 and vnet0 had the same mac address ? On my local server, br0 always had eth0 mac address...

    Someone can help me ?

    I don't know if it's the cause or the consequence, but when i lost connection i can see on the /var/log/messages of host system
    Code:
    
    Feb  9 16:52:31 server1 kernel: [  897.631377] eth0: received packet with  own address as source address
