Hi Yuri,

Have you tried using a static IP address for the host and VM, and
disabling DHCP? The DHCP client will bind to and use 0.0.0.0 to get an IP
address. The SO_REUSEADDR rule is that every tuple (proto, src ip, src
port, dst ip, dst prt) must be unique. I am wondering if that is where
your problem lies. There might be something that is shortcutting the
uniqueness of the tuple and just focusing on IP addresses. I would
validate that for you but I am at 35000=B9 right now...

Regards,

John
