[vbox-dev] NAT/slirp issue?
I have a windows xp host PC that has two network interfaces, one is for internal local network without internet connection, the other can connect to internet. These two interfaces have 2 different IPs. Somehow, vbox vm (configured as NAT) running on this pc can NOT browse any internet websites, but it works for the local network. I checked the settings inside vm, the adapter and ip are correct, and there is traffice between this vm and the host. It seems somehow the vm is hooked to the internal network on host, rather than the one that can browse internet. I don't know how slirp works internally, but I assume it uses windows socket api to send/receive packets. Any chance that traffic is bounded to a specific interface?

Then have a look at the VBox.log file yourself. Search for 'NAT: ...' lines and have a look at lines which mention name servers. Please check if the correct name server is passed to the guest.

It basically pick the DNS from the internal network, rather the interface that can browse internet. I also verified that IE works from vm is using ip address directly, so it's purely DNS issue. Perhaps, can perform some kind of checks, and pick the DNS that can resolve internet names? Yes, this is a long planned feature to solve this annoying bug. Thanks for your feedback, Frank -- Dr.-Ing.
