Hi Steve,
Which interface do you attach bridge to: wired or wireless? What type of

network adapter do you use in VMs? What are MTU sizes in both host and
I'm just getting started with vbox so it took a while to explore all the
possibilities.
It turned out that, while Windows XP is ok with the default virtual NIC
when bridging, Linux is not.
The default is 'PCnet-FAST III'
I've got bridging working for Linux hosts using 'Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop'.
guest? You can also do packet trace (VBoxManage modifyvm <vm_name>
-nictrace1 on -nictracefile1 <capture_file>, replace 1 with actual
number of adapter if your VMs have many) to check if the packets
actually get through to VM.

Ok here are some other symptoms I'm getting.
I find that, intermittently, I can get a Linux VM to get limited
network connectivity through bridging.
When I do the connection is extremely bad. I can ping through it but
accessing web pages or 'apt-get update' do not work.
My OSX workstation has firewalling disabled.

Hi there,
I'm having trouble getting bridged networking working.
Host: OSX, 10.4.11
Virtualbox: 2.2.2 r46594
Guests: Debian Lenny, Debian Etch, Ubuntu Jaunty.
I've had XP working as guest with bridged networking.
On the DHCP server I can see the guest connecting with DHCPDISCOVER
and the server responding with DHCPOFFER. The MAC addresses and IP
addresses in the DHCP server logs are correct.
relevent snippet from DHCP server logs:
May 27 11:07:29 names dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 08:00:27:a9:93:dd via
eth0
May 27 11:07:29 names dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 10.10.10.103 to
08:00:27:a9:93:dd via eth0
Somehow the Linux hosts are not getting this and not setting up their
network interfaces. I'm surprised it works in Windows XP.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
