Hello, Until a few months ago I had VirtualBox bridged networking working fine on my netbook with no ethernet port. When I would start a VM it automatically created a virtual wired connection. I never payed attention to the details but the NetworkManager would switch to the "wired" icon and a connection called "Wired Connection 1" or something of that sort was activated.
Then a few months ago it stopped working. Everything seems fine but the guests (same for Linux, Windows, and Solaris guests) just can't get an address from DHCP. Now I'm setting up a new laptop and I'm having the exact same problem except this one also has an ethernet port and it works just fine. I tried all the promiscuous mode and adapter type settings, nothing works. -- Fernando Rodriguez
