Additional information

1. Networking Setting

I use the bridge module to do the experiment. Then it will make sure every virtual machine can communicate with each other.
If I use the NAT model, all the vms will have the same IPs. I have no idea how to fix that.

(1) Restart the networking service:

shut the default network adapter down first ifdown eth0 restart the apapter ifup etho0 or: restart the networking service sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
