Hi Patrick,
Once you enable ip forwarding:
sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
I checked and it's already enabled.
edit the firewall rules to allow in and out from the interfaces
virbr0
and the interfaces comprising virbr0.
For example:
-A INPUT -i wlp2s0b1 -j ACCEPT
.
.
.
-A OUTPUT -i wlp2s0b1 -j ACCEPT
ditto for virbr0
However, you might want to add more restrictions to each rule, such
as:
-A INPUT -i wlp2s0b1 -m state --state
ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
Thanks, but I solved it by changing from Bridged to NAT networking and
it all started working. I may even have had it set that way before but
I haven't looked at it literally in years so who knows how it got
changed.
I appreciate your efforts all the same.
