I sympathize with this; what problems are you referring to? The reason for =E2=80=9C-net user=E2=80=9D is that it allows me to run =E2= =80=9Cdhclient -v eth0=E2=80=9D in the VM and get access to the network, which is often what I want. Now I don=E2=80=99t feel strongly about it, and indeed, I can always add = =E2=80=9C-net user=E2=80=9D on the command line. Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
