#:* When I issue a ping it returns:

#:: [root@VServerGuest? /]# ping 123.123.123.123

#:: connect: Invalid argument

#:* When I issue a DNS lookup it returns:

#:: [root@VServerGuest? /]# host www.yahoo.ca

#:: socket.c: internal_send: 222.222.222.222#53: Invalid argument

#:: ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

#:* When I try to run vyum it returns:

#:: [root@VServerGuest? /]# vyum VServerGuest? -- check-update

#:: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: core

#:: Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: core

#: Make sure that you have either a Public IP setup on the VServer Guest, or that you have a proper SNAT/DNAT rules setup on your VServer Host. After that, restart the vserver guest with the verbose option to see what your ipv4root is set to:

#:: [root@VServerGuest? /]# vserver -v VServerGuest? start

#:: ipv4root is now 127.0.0.10 111.111.111.111

#:: New security context is 49156

#: You must make sure the order of the interfaces are correct. The very first Interface (decided upon by alphabetical order of the interface directory name) for the VServer is the default IP used for all network connections. This must be either a public IP or an IP that has been D/SNAT'd.
