Wes,
With the fedora windows virtio package.

Okay. I did this and the local area connection 2 dialog box says there's
no network access for ipv4. Yet when I click the 'properties' button the box
displays the IP address (192.168.55.50), netmask (255.255.255.0), and
gateway (192.168.55.4) with DNS servers of 8.8.8.8 and 192.168.55.1.
I must have missed a step.
Thanks,
Rich
