Hi folks. I have the following setup:
- Broadband router (CompUSA-branded cheapy) running DHCP
- PC running OpenSUSE 10.2
- VirtualBox 1.3.8 VM with Windows 2000 Pro
I'm trying to set up the VM's network via bridging, a la section 5.3.3.2 of
the user manual. I run the following commands as root:
# tunctl -t tap1 -u <my username>
# brctl addbr br0
(At this point I kill dhcpcd to avoid problems DHCPing the bridge)
# ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc
# brctl addif br0 eth0
# dhclient br0
# brctl addif br0 tap1
# ifconfig tap1 up
At this point my host is talking to the router again just fine. 'ifconfig'
and 'brctl show br0' show what I would expect. I then went into the Win2k
VM's settings and changed the Network Adapter 0 setup to "Host Interface",
Interface Name "tap1", Setup and Terminate Applications blank.
When I boot up the guest, though, it's not getting configured. The network
interface exists and is set to DHCP, but after trying for a bit, it fails
out and comes up with one of those autoconfiguration (169.x.x.x) addresses.
Is this a DHCP issue? Is the guest unable to see the router at this point?
For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure this isn't a permission issue on the
host. I chowned /dev/net/tun to :vboxusers, of which my user is a member.
And I ran "chmod g+rw" on it too. As a final check, I also rebooted, logged
in as root, and ran through the whole process again. Same result.
Any assistance appreciated.
