Hej all,

I'm new to this list, so first I want to introduce myself. I'm working
in North-Germany, providing services to some people who are interested
in migrating from propietary systems to opensource. I'm doing mainly
with Debian Linux. I want to thank the devellopers of virtualbox - great
software!

Now here we go:
I have difficulties with a virtualbox (vbox) on a remote server running
Debian Etch with custom kernel 2.6.23.17. It's a headless system and the
vbox is connected with rdp only.

I have difficulties with the host networking: The vbox comes up,
requests and accepts an IP from dhcp (separate dhcpd on different
machine) but is not pingable by any other host.

Here is what I have:

The vbox:
