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

What kind of hardware? 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.

I hate to be the first to say "works for me", but it does! :)

I have (or have had) many VMs in Virtualbox, both Windoze and various
flavors of Linux, as well as one or two other things. 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.

Good luck!

Ah, I think I misunderstood. So far my vbox/Centos-7 experiments have
been using Centos-6 (or Win-7) as the host and C-7 as the guest.

thank you both for the advice. Can you tell me where exactly they have
got the appropriate RPMs to CentOS 7 from?

The closest I can find in under

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

but the RPMs for Enterprise Linux are only available for the 6 Series.

When trying to install such a RPM I get an error message which
consequently complains that Python is installed in the wrong version.
This is probably an easy problem to solve, but I'd like to avoid to
contaminate my installation with third party packets when it is
"official" is a way.

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Matthias

The guest additions should be available soon.  There's an RC of 4.3.14 
available, and so far the video driver support for an EL7 guest seems to 
work OK for me.

I always just download it from virtualbox.org, also making sure to
get the extensions package for the same veresion, also from 
virtualbox.org.

they offer binaries for all the "big" linux versions, inncluding .RPM
for RHEL/Oracle Linux, and you would use that one for Centos. 

What they don't have yet, is the "guest additions" for EL7. I assume
that will become available when Oralce Linux 7 becomes available.
