Hi Ben, it does help.

Actually, it's not.  I read that page several times before posting and then I 
read it several times more after reading this.  This "feature" certainly 
[i]should[/i] be documented on the Qemu_Networking page as it's pretty 
important information.

This workaround is not stated on the Qemu networking page either.  I suspect 
that both this workaround and issue are located elsewhere.  I would encourage 
the Qemu networking page to be updated with what you just told me as I would 
not have needed to post if it were there!

(I really, really hope I didn't miss the text 6 times and am making myself look 
like an idiot, but I really don't think it's there.)


I appreciate the help,
John
