[OpenNode-users] Venet route not added upon VM start

[<ope...@li...>]

Hello,

I have followed the guide to create a VM from CentOS_5.5_x64 and assigned it
IP 10.100.100.50 which is within the range of my DHCP router. I can ping the
router and the router can ping the VM but there is no connection to outside
world (e.g google.com is unreachable). I have noted that route for veneth
has not populated when the interface started. Is there any specific reason
to that? What can I do to get this running?

*** I also get "SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable" when I do service network
restart.

Following is all the output:
