OK, got the network to my internal switch working (thanks Edward), but still no luck with
the university backbone.
One thing I did notice, which is different from my engine, is that the VM has defined the
network interface virbr0 with static ip 192.168.122.1/26, which might be a problem since
these machine are hooked to an internal network that is also 192.168 (192.168.122.1 is the
IP of one of the gateways) and the IP of this VM is 192.168.39.87.
The questions are: what is virbr0 for, should I change the IP, to what ?
Here's some output, if it helps (the 10.20.30 network is my internal switch):
