Serge, I switched networking back to NAT and repeated the svn co to verify the problem still exists. It does. Then I tried the wget operation 5 times and all of them succeeded.
I also verified that we're using the same default.xml configuration. They're almost identical except for one interesting (maybe related?) observation. On my host, /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default contains: <forward/> but your example shows: <forward mode="nat"/> However, if I run "virsh net-dumpxml default >default.xml" and view the output file, I also see: <forward mode="nat"/> It may just be that, since http://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html describes nat mode as the default, I suspect dumpxml outputs it but it isn't actually necessary in the xml. Side question: every time I switch networking times, the guest bumps ethernet device number (eth0, eth1, ...). This makes it annoying to reset networking to switch static/dhcp on the next reboot. Is there a method to ensure that the guest always uses eth0? brian -- Broken networking in kvm guests https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/616064 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
