I normally use two network cards in the host. One for the host to use, and one for the guests. But you can share a single nic. When you create a VM, have it use interface 'br0' as shown below, and use dhcp in the guests if possible, or set their addresses manually to match your 10.68.21.0 network.

 

Save this existing file to your desktop:    /etc/network/interfaces

 

Then edit the file:

 

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

 

or: 

 

gksu gedit /etc/network/interfaces & 

 

 

Replace the contents with the following and reboot: (you need to use your actual addresses, so please tweak as needed)

 

 

 

 

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

 

# The loopback network interface

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

 

# I disable ipv6 on mine, so change as needed...

# The primary network interface

#iface eth0 inet6 auto

 

auto eth0

iface eth0 inet static

   address 10.68.21.7

   netmask 255.255.255.0 

   gateway 10.68.21.1

   dns-nameservers 10.68.21.1 8.8.8.8

   dns-domain domain.lan

   dns-search domain.lan

 

auto br0

iface br0 inet manual

        bridge_ports eth0

        bridge_stp off

        bridge_fd 0

        bridge_maxwait 0
