Hi All,

I've installed VBOX 1.4.0 for windows and created a VM running Debian4.0.
I've got Debian linux guest install o.k BUT can't get networking to work.
Can't ping past the VM NAT gateway.

My host machine works fine and I can get out the internet - So, there's no
network issues from my host machine. I have set up the VM for NAT mode. My
host machine gets it's IP settings from DHCP (External Linksys) - Again, all
works fine here. As I can see the VBOX NAT setup has a network of
10.0.2.0and a gateway of
10.0.2.2... With that I set up my guest linux network IP setting as follows:

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 10.0.2.10
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 10.0.2.0
        broadcast 10.0.2.255
        gateway 10.0.2.2
        dns-nameservers MyISP-DNS-IP here.

I can ping the guest machine IP above 10.0.2.10. I can ping the gateway of
10.0.2.2... But, I can't ping my host machine or the IP off the linksys or
anything outside.

Also, I've tried the Host Internetworking using bridging and so success
there either.

I would appreciate anyone assistance to help identify and fix problem.

Thanks!
Joe
