I have created a new LXC container on my Ubuntu machine. Since I would like outside clients to be able to connect to this container I have triedto set up the container to use the same network settings as the rest of my LAN. I've run into a snag where programs in the LXC container cannot connect to (or ping) other machines on the network and other machines cannot see the container. Any attempt to connect to the LXC container from another machine indicates there is no route to host. Trying to ping from the LXC container to another machine results in a network error.
Here are are my network settings on the host, output provided by ifconfig
And here are my settings inside the container, output provided by ifconfig
And here is the contents of my container's /etc/network/interfaces file
I must be missing something obvious. When i created containers with the default 10.0.3.x addresses the containers were able to see and connect to machines in the outside world, but I was unable to connect to the LXC container from another machine. Any suggestions on how I can remedy this so the container can connect to other machines and clients can connect to my container?
Here are are my network settings on the host, output provided by ifconfig
