Hello @Rcarl2010,

There is a previous posts that can probably help you on this:  
[Access to internet with a Virtual Machine](https://forum.opennebula.io/t/access-to-internet-with-a-virtual-machine/8327)  
Also, this page on our Documentation, can help:  
[Managing VM Instances](https://docs.opennebula.io/6.6/management_and_operations/vm_management/vm_instances.html)

If this don’t solve the problem, let us know.

Cheers,  
Francisco.-

Do you receive any error message? Or it doesn’t connect to internet, even with the bridge?

This is the configuration of the virtual network and the bridge with the physical interface enp4s0 which is one of the ones that provides the internet and the VLAN identifier does not give me the option to configure it  
BRIDGE = “br0”  
BRIDGE\_TYPE = “linux”  
DNS = “192.168.0.1”  
GATEWAY = “192.168.0.1”  
GUEST\_MTU = “1500”  
NETWORK\_ADDRESS = “192.168.0.0”  
NETWORK\_MASK = “255.255.255.0”  
PHYDEV = “enp4s0”  
SECURITY\_GROUPS = “0”  
VN\_MAD = “bridge”

Hello @Rcarl2010,

Very sorry for the delay, but we still need to check the error message that you might got.

Can you paste here the result of `ip a` command on the host and on the VM?

In any case, I strongly suggest to upgrade to 6.4, since 5.12 is no longer maintained.

Cheers,
