To eliminate some variables, I turned off my dnsmasq service, disabled it and rebooted. The problem is still there: for a few moments the guests are network-reachable, then they aren't. They may come back, they may not. Or one does and the other doesn't. It's completely unpredictable. If I could even figure out which component is causing the problem I could BZ it, but nothing stands out. I'll keep looking but I'm seriously considering a complete system reinstall, something I haven't done in about 5 years, in case some cruft from earlier iterations of Fedora is somehow lurking in the shadows. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
