[ovs-discuss] network issue with the guest machine (KVM machine)

[David Gabriel]

Dear Scott,

Thanks so much for your help.
In fact, I missed this command which is important for Linux Guest : chmod
a+rw /dev/vmnet0
It was pointed in this link
<http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=287>
at
the end of this one <https://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-8970>.
Hope it helps somebody else ...

Regards
