Hi, I am running windows xp sp2 as the host and ubuntu edgy as the guest os. I have the vbox additions installed. My internet connection is provided by an adsl modem (not wireless) which is initiated by a dialup. ip, gateway and dns is set to autoconfig in windows. I set up a virtual network card as in the guide and bridged the lan and the virtual connection.
I am unable to connect to the internet with host interface networking from the guest linux os. I can connect to the internet from the windows host though. However I can access the windows host from the guest os, for instance I can access the adsl modem on 192.168.1.1 from Ubuntu guest, and access the guest ubuntu os from the host. Is there any guide to make the internet connectivity work? The guest linux os is set to dhcp, dns is 192.168.1.1. NAT works but only if I put in a my broadband providers dns address in addition to the 10.0.2.3 provided by vbox in the Ubuntu network config. I would like to test a server on the guest os and would prefer the host interface but I have searched for over 2 days on google and can't find references or guides for this for a Windows host. I tried to set promiscuous mode on the bridged interface in windows with the netsh command thinking that could be the problem but my adsl dialup won't connect to the net after doing this so I had to delete and recreate the bridged interface. Any ideas? Thanks Raul Update: Thanks. I just installed a proxy called analogx on host windows and now I can access the net from the guest os on 192.168.1.4( host ip address) port 6588. Is there any way to make it work without using a proxy?
