networking with virtual machine

[lee <lee@yun.yagibdah.de>]

Hi,

since I'm not making any progress:  I want to set up a VM (running
testing) that can be reachable from the outside over the network.  I've
done that 2 years or so ago and I forgot how to do the networking setup,
and network configuration has changed in the meantime.

I need to somehow set up a bridge interface so the guest can tap into
it.  I don't understand the docs I found about that.  Looking at [1], I
can see that my physical network adaptor won't have an IP address
anymore and that there is only a bridge interface instead.  This is
probably not what I want, and I remember I did it differently before,
after lots of experimenting.

So what I'm looking for is a good documentation that explains me how to
set up the network stuff.  I've found contradictory ones ...
