I need help with Multipass as my VM has stopped working. It appears to be a networking issue. I have managed macOS with the firewall enabled. Multipassd is explicitly allowed, and “Block all incoming connections” is disabled.
I have followed all the steps outlined in this guide: Troubleshoot Networking on macOS.
Additionally, I tried to create a new VM, but I encountered the same issue (the machine remains in an unknown status; either SSH is not possible or the machine is not getting an IP).
I enabled tcpdump on the bridge100 interface to investigate and found that the new VM was sending BOOTP/DHCP requests but not receiving any replies. After multiple unload/load cycles of Bootpd, I eventually disabled Bootpd and installed another DHCP server, isc-dhcp (instructions in the link below).

The new VM then received an IP address, and I got a popup in macOS to allow incoming connections to isc-dhcp. However, even after that, Multipassd was not able to move the VM to the running state (SSH still seemed to be an issue).
Regarding my existing VM, there is never a DHCP request. With the old .64 subnet, the VM was getting an IP right away (I believe) as there was an ARP request from 64.1.

However, since I changed the subnet to .65, there is no IP and no DHCP requests either. I am unsure what to do next.
