I'm setting up an LXC container on an openSuSE 42.1 host.
The host has full Internet access but the container hasn't. The container can ping the host, but nothing else on the LAN or Internet.
I think the issue could be how the bridge is configured on the host, but I can't see how to resolve this.
The host has eth0 and br0. br0 has been assigned a static IP Address etc.
In YAST I have the Default IPv4 Gateway as 192.168.2.1 and the Device as br0
Here is the network detail for the host

gateway.localdomain resolves to 192.168.2.1
The containers config file is:
lxc.network.type = empty
lxc.rootfs = /var/lib/lxc/TestLXC/rootfs
lxc.include = /usr/share/lxc/config/opensuse.common.conf
lxc.arch = x86_64
lxc.utsname = TestLXC
lxc.mount.auto = cgroup:mixed proc:mixed sys:mixed
lxc.network.type = veth
lxc.network.flags = up
lxc.network.link = br0
lxc.network.name = eth0
lxc.network.hwaddr = 08:00:27:e5:c3:29
lxc.aa_allow_incomplete = 1
lxc.network.ipv4 = 192.168.2.221/24
lxc.network.ipv4.gateway = 192.168.2.197
and it's network details are:

Can anyone advise how I can get my LXC container to have full network and Internet access.
Thanks
