Rich,
It sounds like maybe you had services configured to use an ip address
that was attached to your external interface that -- predictably --
changed when booting in a new environment.
I like to run OpenStack demos inside virtual machines in my laptop.
This makes the network configuration completely independent from my
laptop's external interface.
I use a MASQUERADE rule on the host to give instances in this
environment external access. That is, rather than attaching a
physical nic to br-ex, I just give br-ex an ip address and then set up
a masquerade rule for anything FROM that address range to eth0;
something like:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 172.16.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
