Hi, My ISP decided to reduce the number of computers that would connect to their network on a single connection by mangling with the TTL of IP packets.
For now it sets the TTL of all incoming packets to 1. When a host receives a packet destined for a Virtualbox vm, it will first decrement the TTL before deciding where to forward it. Because TTL is now 1 the host will drop the packet. This fixes it for me: iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -j TTL --ttl-set 64 but it took me a while to come up with the fix. It would be nice if the Virtualbox GUI or the manual would list this work-around (or a better one if someone finds something better) and, ideally, the GUI could provide a way to enable non experienced users to run this command automagically. -- . ..: Lucian _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
