Guest deploy requires network service restart

I have encountered an issue that after deploying a new linux guest from a template (and customizing the guest with the guest customization wizard) i need to restart the network service before it will be accessable to the network. I have confirmed that the wizard is configuring the ifcfg-eth1 network script, hosts file and network files correctly.

I have observed this message when the guest is booting: "Bringing up interface eth1: Error, Some other host already uses address 10.xxx.xxx.xxx." This ip address is the ip address from the original guest i used to create the template from.

I do have a host with that ip address on the network so I understand the communication failure. What I dont' understand is why the guest is attempting to use that address when I"ve used the guest customization wizard to change the ip settings.

Has any one seen this and fixed it?
