Hmm. OK, I'll try that. Just to be clear the F19 host is 10.10.11.100. 
But to connect remotely, I need to specify the ip address of the host in 
the guest xml file? Does this mean I could not connect to the guest from 
the host? (which probably doesn't matter to us, but seems odd.)

The guest network is bridged, and the guest has an ip address of 
10.10.11.70. Would it be better to specify the _guest's_ address? That 
way, I assume, I could connect from the host.

Thanks for the prompt reply.
