  • Thank you, great explanation, I can now ping the world (tried a google IP address), so you solved the question above. However I still am unable to use DNS for some reason. With my manual IPv4 configuration on the guest I tried 192.168.118.1 (which is the address for the bridge device) and I tried 192.168.117.1 (which is the address for my WAN router and the setting I use on the system I cloned, so I know it works there) but neither works with my guest VM. Any ideas? Commented Jun 19, 2019 at 13:45
  • No, my host does not run a dns service, so I guess the 118.1 option is moot (out). As to the 117.1 option, when I try a ping www.google.com, nothing turns up on tcpdump or iptables -nvL -t nat, so it does not even leave my guest! I don't understand this. Commented Jun 19, 2019 at 18:58
  • start with tcpdump on the guest then. Commented Jun 19, 2019 at 19:08
  • Sorry, my fault, when you change the name server you point to in network manager, it seems like it only takes effect when the network is stopped and restarted. Problem now solved. Commented Jun 20, 2019 at 8:19
