I just installed KVM on my Ubuntu Server according to this guide : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation

Then prepared a bridged network as shown in here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Networking

Then, I created a virtual machine with virt-manager. I tried several times but the guest fails to connect to the network! Any help?

ifconfig :

*In the guest * I was unable to copy paste the info from the guest because can't ssh to it. It didn't get any ip from DHCP. Won't work even after setting it up manually.
