Hi,

I updated my kernel from 3.5.7 to 3.9.7 lately. It seems I messed up my virtual network configuration.

I am using libvirt and virt-manager with qemu-kvm, and want to setup my virtual network in the NAT mode.

In a terminal, if I type:
Code:
virsh net-start default


it returns:
Code:
error: Failed to start network default
error: failed to add iptables rule to block outbound traffic from 'virbr0'


trying to start from virt-manager will get similar error as "network default is not active"

the drivers are compiled as kernel modules, and here is my lsmod results:

Also, if I try to add an outbound rule to my iptables by
Code:

iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j DROP

It seems working to me.

So, may I ask what module am I missing in my kernel config? Thanks!

I tried some brute force method, which means to enable all options, and see if libvirt may start. And then reduce options gradually.

It turns out that:
networking support -->
networking options -->
network package filtering framework -->
netfilter configuration -->
packet filtering
REJECT target support

is the one I missed. It has a (NEW) marked on it, so I thought it wasn't a critical option.
