No, the same system.  Just a different bridge config file because I've
read some speculation re: bridge naming requirements, and have been
testing it -- in response to others that are trying to help me.

The email to this list was just a copy and paste problem from the notes
I'm trying to keep.

Returning to just =br0, the problem still exists exactly as I reported
above.  I can repost everything if you'd like to see that. Just to
remind, there are now at least 3 persons reporting similar problems with
no network access with xl-created Guests.

I'll give that a try and report.

Yes a typo.
