Hi @axell-cln, Perhaps Avast is blocking the necessary networking components? You can try disabling Avast for the time being and see if instances can get an IP address.

Hey @milopersic, It's not clear to me at all *why* qemu crashes, but it looks like it does start again to the point where the instance's virtual network adapter comes...

Is that the full file contents? I ask because the top of what you posted looks wrong, ie, the ``` lease=0x61c9185c } ``` is a dangling entry and shows a...

Ok, that looks better as far as a corrupted leases file :wink: But gah, stupid Apple's bootp has duplicate entries in the file and past experience shows that if there...

Sorry, I mean the whole entry. For example, there are 2 entries for the `dbarn` instance: ``` { name=dbarn ip_address=192.168.64.11 hw_address=1,52:54:0:11:ff:d3 identifier=1,52:54:0:11:ff:d3 lease=0x61d54fea } ``` and ``` { name=dbarn ip_address=192.168.64.5...

Please stop any "running" instances, ie, `dbarn` and `tractorgeeks`, remove **both** of those entries I posted above (and any and all entries that have duplicates), then try starting an instance...

Ok, I'm betting the bootp has some entries cached in memory. The easiest way to clear that up is to restart the machine. Please let me know if that is...

Ugh, and the `dhcpd_leases` file shows nothing for `dbarn` still? Also, let's see if starting it by hand in a terminal will work. Try ``` $ sudo /Library/Application\ Support/com.canonical.multipass/bin/qemu-system-aarch64 -machine...

Oh, good grief! Well, when the QEMU window was open, did you happen to see if it booted to a login prompt? Also, do you see a `dbarn` entry in...

Hi @milopersic, Glad you've made some progress on diagnosing what the problem is! Our guide is based more on macOS 10.x and it appears there have been changes surrounding the...
