Guests cannot get out. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-0.7.1-11.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. start virt-manager 2. start guest Actual results: I have no outside ports and I must scream.

Restart of everything (inc. libvirtd) fixed it.
