I have had a number of occasions lately where a virtual "NAT" network

that seems to work is to restart all of the virtual guests which use
that network. I don't believe that I should have to do that. Is
there some command which will "fix" things?
I have had this happen to me a number of times but I am currently
uncertain of the cause. Anyone know what is going on? I am not going
to bugzilla this until.
I do know one way to cause the problem. Disable the network in a
virtual machine. Then using virt-manager's connection details menu,
stop that (default) network ... then start it up again. Everything
sort-of looks ok but it is not. Go back to the virtual machine and
re-enable the previously disable network. Nope ... cannot connect.
Start another virtual machine which uses that network and it works fine.
In the "real world", I can disable a network, then remove a cable,
connect the cable back up, re-enable the network and everything works.
BTW, NetworkManager is used in all cases.
Any ideas?
I hate it when I answer my own questions! OK, to get that virtual going
again ... remove the NIC from the systems configuration, then add a NIC
back making sure you keep the same MAC address ... now it works.
Shouldn't there be a better way?
