Steps to reproduce:

Download URSim 5.14.6 VM and try to enable network interface via DHCP in simulated Polyscope

eth0 interface is working and I can ping my virtual machine from outside:

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0c:29:62:dc:2d  
inet addr:192.168.252.143 Bcast:192.168.252.255 Mask:255.255.255.0  
inet6 addr: fe80::20c:29ff:fe62:dc2d/64 Scope:Link  
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1  
RX packets:1693 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0  
TX packets:98 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

RX bytes:149342 (149.3 KB) TX bytes:12477 (12.4 KB)  
Interrupt:19 Base address:0x2000

This is the output of the command perl /sbin/net-statistics

@ursim:~$ perl /sbin/net-statistics  
Mode:dhcp  
Net up  
Address:192.168.252.143  
Mask:255.255.255.0  
Gateway:192.168.252.2  
nameserver1:192.168.252.2  
nameserver2:  
Hostname:ursim

Network interface works for 5.10 - 5.13 but seems to be broken for 5.14. The issue is also reported by other users:

In the VMware settings I’ve set the network connection as “bridged” but the UR settings show “network not connected” (in settings \> system \> network) If I run ifconfig in a terminal, I see eth0 has an ip address in my network range. I’ve tried other network settings too, set as host only connection but same thing. I’ve also tried running in VirtualBox with the same issue. Am I missing something within the UR program that I need to do to enabl…
