Hi Guys, I am new to VirtualBox. I was using Vmware, and due to a number of issues (timing, crashing, io related) decided to give VirtualBox a try, and I am very impressed. System is nice and responsive. (Although this morning under heavy load, i did get crashes and I am still investigating. Adding nohz=off to kernel of guest has seem to improve things)
The question I have is about the networking. With bridged networking on vmware, it worked, so I just want to see what I am missing. I have a VirtualBox Host and a VirtualBox guest running under that host. Host is Ubunty Gutsy, guest is Gentoo and VirtualBox is 1.52. I configured a bridge under Gutsy br0 consisting of eth0 and created an interface called vbox0 with the VBoxAddIF command and added it to the br0 interface. The gentoo vm boots up fine, sets an IP address and i can communicate with the network no problem. I start a pppoe session on the guest and it has an external ip address also. >From the guest, i can access the internal machines no problem. The problem comes in when trying to use a DNAT on the firewall (running on the guest). The connection just never goes through. I am not sure where it does actually go. The other thing i've noticed is that people that are connecting to server from internal, appear as if they come from the virtual host box's bridged ip. Is this normal behaviour? eg. everyone comes from this ip imapd: LOGIN, user=removed, ip=[193.168.87.250], protocol=IMAP which is the ip address of the virtualbox host. I would still expect to see them come from their actual IP address. The only thing I dont do (but have tried) is to put eth0 on the host in promisc mode. Doesnt seem to make a difference. Does anyone have a similair issue / know whats going on? Thanks very much.
