I always set them up as bridged and they "just" work. Can't think of what might cause it, but you might want to look at /var/log/messages, etc., on both the guest and the host. Make sure the vbox kernel module(s) is(are) installed. I don't think the vbox tools for the client would have anything to do with this, but it won't hurt to check that they are properly installed.

There can be issues with trying to bridge across a WiFi connection and you may need to use NAT. On wired on a server I've had issues where the network had multiple VLANs allowed directly to the ethernet adapter and I had to configure where the VLAN was being tagged for the VMs. A bit more fleshed out description of your hardware and network set up would help out. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I've manged to 'solve' the problem - which wasn't anything to do with CentOS 7 ... the host running CentOS 7 was patched into a switch with MAC access control enabled - as were the two other CentOS 7 boxes I tried - whereas the CentOS 6 host(s) I used had no MAC access control enabled Just wish it hadn't taken me nearly a day to work that out :-) Sorry for the noise James Pearson ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
