[PVE-User] Networking, external IP and KVM guest help request

[Matthew Edmondson]

Hi

I apologise for asking a networking question, I seen a few of them in
the FAQ, the wiki, the forum and the mail list, but I am stumped and
about to give up, and am hoping that you might be able to help.

I use Debian and want to run a number of full KVM guests each with its
own public IP address.   

The fine material I have found uses private IP address's in the
examples.  I have tried several of the methods I have found online but
have yet to get this working.

In the attempt below I found that the client still had a dhcp private
address.

What should I be trying to do in order to get a full KVM debian guest?

tips or pointers to the relevant documentation much appreciated, 

thank you

Matthewe
