Hi Serge,

Thanks for your time!

The problem is not with the mac addresses (at least not for me). As I reported earlier:

Also note that my situation is like this:
I have a host running Hardy with a bridge with two eth's and two tap devices. I have two kvm guests: one is Hardy as well and one is Lucid. Only the Lucid machines loses connectivity, the Hardy machine works fine. In KVM I have hardcoded the mac addresses (due to an issue of years before where both machines could get the same mac address).
