Hi Rusty,
After I sent you the 'setup', I realized that it was mostly bhyve-related. So I deleted the bhyve-related settings and reverted to simple VirtualBox configuration : I use NAT for all my VM's under (VirtualBox VM ->) Settings -> Network. My /boot/loader.conf has 'vboxdrv_load=YES' while my /etc/rc.conf has 'vboxnet_enable=YES'. My box has a single ethernet card (Realtek chipset) that shows up as re0. re0 connects directly to a modem using static IP configuration. There are two more pieces of information : 1) My Windows vm can smoothly access the internet (using NAT) 2) There is a way I can make Linux vm access the internet too : Use bridged adapter instead of NAT, and then use re0 as the adapter. But I want to be able to create the vm using NAT, which has always worked for me.

I am using NAT under Settings -> Network, although I do not have any idea about NAT or bridges. What I do is put the following in /boot/loader.conf : aio_load=YES if_bridge_load=YES if_tap_load=YES nmdm_load=YES Then I put the following in /etc/rc.conf : cloned_interfaces="tap0 bridge0" ifconfig_bridge0="addm re0 addm tap0 up" The setup above should permit my Realtek ethernet card to be made available to my virtual machines. My Realtek ethernet card connects to a modem using static IP configuration. Interestingly, my Windows vm can access the internet freely. The Linux vm's are in a mess on the internet front. Looking forward to help. Thank you & Regards, Manish Jain Manish, You have a setup that I am not familiar with however, I've read that vboxnetflt kernel module is needed in the host system if you are using bridging mode. That information may or may not be accurate but can you try loading vboxnetflt.ko and seeing if you are then able to bridge out?
