I finally found that stopping the firewall on the client changed the 
error message on the host from:

   "No route to host"

to:

   "Connection refused"

then I realised I hadn't restarted sshd on the client but the original 
problem was the firewall on the client so I have set that up properly 
now and it is likely that the rules at:

   http://libvirt.org/firewall.html

are not necessary for a default F16 setup.

BTW, you were right about restarting iptables upsetting 
libvirtd/dnsmasq . .

Regards,

Phil.
