[0] Thanks for the answer, but as I've written in my initial question I don't want to ping the VM. I am creating a VM from a guix branch with ./pre-inst-env guix system and a config.scm of a specific system. I've read my initial post again and I can understand how you could draw this conclusion. So, I am not trying to ping the VM. I am inside the VM and my service needs an outbound connection to get an initial file into its home. To debug my service I need to test if I can ping gnu.org because connection fails in every configuration I have. With the normal qemu VMs running Gentoo in NixOS I have, I can use ping which is normal expected behavior. > [0] > http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/78953/qemu-how-to-ping-host-network -- ng0
