Hello Lance,

The easiest way I have found is to loop mount the iso then expose it  
on my webserver. I then use virt-manager to connect and install with  
http. That way I am able to install in paravirtual mode rather than HVM.
You can also do the exact same thing from the command line using ssh  
from your laptop, look at the virt-install man page. I would tcpdump  
on your laptop and server to see why you are unable to connect.
Hope that helps,

Jon
