Hello. Excuse me if I have some grammatical error. I am Spanish speaker. What operating system do you have as host? If you have Linux as host try this ... 1. Load module "vboxnetflt" sudo modprobe vboxnetflt 2. Install bridge-utils sudo apt-get install bridge-utils 3. Declare bridge. First you have to make a copy to the current interface cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.bak 4. Edit the interfaces file in the host to declare bridge auto eth0 iface the0 inet manual auto br0 iface br0 inet dhcp bridge_ports eth0 vbox0 auto lo iface lo inet loopbak where: eth0 .Is the name of interface. br0 .name of the bridge. vbox0 .name of virtual machine. if you want to add more VMs you have to add at the end of the line that begin with bridge the name of VM with space. foe example: bridge_ports eth0 vbox0 vbox1 vbox2 ... etc 5. Restart networking. sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart You have to ignore the messages. 6. Declare virtual interfaces used for vbox. sudo gedit /etc/vbox/interfaces vbox# username br0 7. restart vbox networking sudo /etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose restart or sudo /etc/init.d/vboxnet restart Espero que le sirva. I hope this help you.
