Thank you. That was good advice.

Somehow I was not able to connect via ssh. I managed to get novnc 
working and logged into the VM. I can't find anything about connecting 
via serial or the like as you can with Xen. I need to read more about 
KVM I guess.

Anyway, I think my networking setup is stuffed. I thought the "10 
minutes" install would be the quickest way to get and running. Now I 
find myself pouring over documentation trying to understand how best to 
setup FlatDHCPManager with two network interfaces. I understand many 
things have changed. So I don't want to go reading something out of 
date. I found these blog posts which explained a lot:
http://www.mirantis.com/blog/openstack-networking-flatmanager-and-flatdhcpmanager/#comments
http://www.mirantis.com/blog/openstack-networking-single-host-flatdhcpmanager/
But am I reading the wrong thing? I like the way Stackgeek had it set up:
http://stackgeek.com/guides/gettingstarted.html

But I think they are missing details or it's out dated. For example, 
with their setup the vnc console in horizon does not work because 
nova-vncproxy is installed rather than novnc.

I'm pretty sure I can figure the networking out if I have the right 
documentation in the first place. Is there a clear instructions for this 
anywhere? Or would someone mind walking me through it again. So far I've 
followed the stackgeek setup above, but the networking is obviously stuffed.

Must I have the flat_interface in promiscuous mode?
Or does it actually need an IP address?
Why are my VMs picking up an IP address from the public_interface DHCP 
server and not from the flat_network_bridge?

Too many questions to ask. So I thought I should just ask: what is 
missing or incorrect from Stackgeeks 10 minute scripts?

Many thanks for any advice, tips, docs, etc.

Cheers,

Simon
