Use a tool like Wireshark and watch the packets ? If you know the MAC 
address of the client*, then you can simply look for packets with 
that MAC address.
My preference is to fix this in the guest config file - that way the 
client doesn't keep thinking it's got a new interface each time it 
boots.
