I have created a linux container with debian-wheezy template. I am not able to have internet connectivity from the container. Below is my network configuration. Could some one please help me in figuring out the issue ? I can ping to the eth0 ip address in the container from the host. Similarly, i can ping from container to br0 ip address on the host.

/etc/network/interfaces on host
===============================

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
#allow-hotplug eth0
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp


# bridge configuration
auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eth0 vethCE2
bridge_fd 0
bridge_stp off
bridge_maxwait 0

ifconfig -a output on host

# It is fine to be commented out
#lxc.network.ipv4 = 192.168.10.21/24
# Change this
lxc.network.hwaddr = 00:11:22:33:44:00

Let me know if you need any other details.
