As sadique explained recently (and if I remember it correctly!), virbr0 
doesn't have peth0 attached, so there is no way it can talk to the external 
world. Do a 'brctl show' to see where peth0 is attached. It may be xenbr0, or 
in recent xen versions, eth0. In my experience, using virt-manager/install 
usually uses the right bridge for the config, no matter what is 
in  /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml.
