When using virt-manager on Arch Linux, virtual machines may successfully obtain IP addresses from the NAT network (typically 192.168.122.x) but fail to access the internet. This manifests as:
- ✅ VM gets IP address from DHCP (e.g., 192.168.122.112/24)
- ✅ VM can ping the gateway (192.168.122.1)
- ✅ DNS resolution works inside the VM
- ❌ VM cannot reach external IP addresses (e.g., 8.8.8.8)
