I have only worked with the GUI on the host so far, but I am will watch this and also the previous posters pointer - I  will obviously have to start working with the hosts and config files sooner or later and I have worked with Linux for many years, so should be too hard to get rolling, thanks again.

well, my hope is you won't have to fiddle with the host, rather should 
be able to do all of this from the gui.
a bridge should be auto created if you attach a network which is a "vm 
network".
bridge is required for vm connectivity, but incurs overhead, so for 
management/storage/migration networks you can avoid it in some cases.
