Thanks for the info, Anthony. The wireshark info failed to download for me. Could you attach it here?
My only guess ATM is that it is a bad interaction with the physical switch or router to which eth3 is attached. I'd ask you to try with different hardware, but I see you're running production VMs on there. Can you tell us exactly (names and models) what hardware is physically involved in the network leading up to eth3? Perhaps we can insert a logging layer 2 firewall between the switch and eth3 to see what is going on there. Do you have a spare machine with two NICs which could be used for that? ** Changed in: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Also affects: bridge-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/616064 Title: Broken networking in kvm guests To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bridge-utils/+bug/616064/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
