We can launch our VM's and they show up as instances and according to the dashboard are assigned IP's yet the instance console cannot connect: "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading."

Tried connecting to qdhcp and pinging the VM from the stack network host:

ip netns exec qdhcp-0bfe4cfd ping  -c 3 192.168.99.18

and the IP is up so the VM is getting the IP and responding to pings but we cannot connect on the dashboard instance console.

We are using:

• OpenStack Icehouse configuration
• cirros-0.3.2-x86_64 test VM image
• Ubuntu
• GRE networking.
