Hi,

You need to define static IP for both the host and the guest. As long as
you setup the same netmask (/24) and the same subnet (10.0.0.x) between the
two, I think you can do fine. Have you installed libvirt? It is not
mandatory, but by default libvirt installs a bridged network profile in the
host (virbr0) that is contained to only between the host and the guests.
You can use that bridge if you do not have access to a router/DHCP server.

Best regards,
