Thanks for the tip. I tried those but the same problem persisted. As I played around with several MAC addresses (even trying to set several Intel OUI's and the OUI's of several Dell servers I have with e1000 cards and the problem didn't go away. However, I noticed the the problems are with the last 4 bytes of the MAC address. The first 2 are always what I set them to, while the last 6 are always FF:FF:FF:FF. I don't know if the problem lies in the Windows driver looking for a specific third byte in the MAC (still part of the OUI), or with the way Windows extracts the MAC address out of the emulated hardware. It's odd that Linux doesn't suffer the same problem, however. Just to cure my ignorance, I know why 01: and FF: are wrong (broadcast and multicast). However, why is 00 wrong? All nic's I have start with 00 and the current list of OUI's from IEEE shows that 00:Fx is unused (hence my choice of 00:FF). Is there a specific OUI we should be using for Qemu/KVM? -- Alberto Treviño [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
