You should also refer to the documents of (https://github.com/ipop-project/Documentation/wiki/Installing-KVM-on-cloudlab)
On Centos, OS ISO file and disk image file must be placed at /var/lib/libvirt/images

If your network administrator is strict, you need to check the firewall rules. Make sure that the VNC port is allowed.
sudo iptables -L
And don't forget the last reject line, if there was.
REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
Maybe your second network interface is attached to virbr0 as well, you may want to detach it manually.
