Hi

I have been trying for hours to install a vm in Ovirt and having no joy.,
Spice is not working - I just get a black popup window

I am connecting from a Fedora16 desktop - I have spice-XPI installed.  can
see 'press Shift+f12' to release mouse.... etc.

My setup :-

I have a 3 server setup
-  1. Ovirt engine (Lan address + external address)
-  2. Storage node - NFS server (LAN address and external address)
-  3. Ovirt node (from the node .iso) - only LAN address

The Engine server is a default FC16 install. the node is from the ovirt
node .iso.

I don't think its firewall related - I tried disabling firewalls on all
servers.

Once I try spice the icon is greyed out afterwards.

In IRC it was suggested to run Bind from server 1 - I have done that and
added DNS entrys in the LAN range for all 3 servers - all 3 servers are
using bind from server1 as their only nameserver in resolv.conf

I am trying to connect from my Fedora16 Desktop

When I try to connect I see in /var/log/messages

Mar  1 19:34:43 fedora16 spice: Warning: failed to connect: Connection
timed out (110)

Any ideas how to investigate this further.

I am dying to test out a VM but with no spice I am presently unable to...

Any ideas will be welcomed - i'm 1/2 thinking about re-installing with all
external ips (but that will make transfer speeds slower..)
