You'll need to provide more details.  Sounds like you may have the Desktop's
ethernet device configured w/ an IP address as well as the Desktop's OVS
instance.  Some basic info that might help you diagnose:

bridge case:
ip link show
ip addr show
brctl show

(the bridge device should be up and have an ip, the bridge's ethernet
device should be up and have no ip)

ovs case:
ip link show
ip addr show
ovs-vsctl show

(the ovs device should be up and have an ip, the ovs's ethernet device
should be up and have no ip)
