Hi.  I'm brand new at playing with LXC and containers.
My host is Ubuntu 12.04.04.

So, when I created my first container, I used whatever the 

defaults are.  So I created a container that has the same
OS as the host.  Great!

However I am having networking issues.  I thought I read that
LXC uses it's own DHCP?  The host is 192.168.1.131.  

Container is 10.0.3.177. And I am using a Wireless WiFi connection.
(I am thinking I should go back to wired?)


The Host can ping the container and the container can
ping the host.  However that's as far as the container can go.
It cannot ping any other device on the 192.168.1.x subnet?
What is weird is I did an "apt-get install nginx" in the
container and it worked? 


So that's one issue.

The other nagging issue is mounting a USB thumb drive.
It works fine on the host but in the container, it complains about
read write, or something similar.  (Sorry,  at work right now).
I thought maybe there's a "How To" for setting this up?

It seems that there isn't much good documentation around for 

LXC and containers?

Thanks for your help.

Ray
