Running Gutsy (7.10) 32bit. I start the guest with:
kvm -hda guest.img -m 1024 -net nic -net tap Starting the guest gives the same error: can't add tap0 to bridge eth1: Operation not supported But the tap0 device exists: 7: tap0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,10000> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 500 link/ether 00:ff:87:13:e9:96 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.20.30.40/8 brd 10.255.255.255 scope global tap0 inet6 fe80::2ff:87ff:fe13:e996/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever After the guest has started, on the guest, I execute: ifconfig eth0 10.20.30.50 netmask 255.255.255.0 route add default gw 10.20.30.40 echo "MY-NAMESERVER-IP" > /etc/resolv.conf and on the host: ifconfig tap0 10.20.30.40 modprobe ip_tables modprobe iptable_nat echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE and it works both ways: from the guest I can reach internet and from the host I can ssh into the guest. Good luck!
