Hi,
I'm using Debian GNU/Linux as host machine and M$ WinXP as guest.
Initially i was write two scripts and i'm using it every day:
eth3 - separate network card for virtualbox
br0 - bridge
tap0 - software network interface, what is appointed in vbox settings of
VM
And now some settings of host machine and scripts:
==> /etc/network/interfaces
=======================================================
auto eth3
iface eth3 inet static
address 169.254.226.110
netmask 255.255.255.255
up /etc/vbox/netup.sh
down /etc/vbox/netdown.sh
=======================================================
==> /etc/vbox/netup.sh
=======================================================
#!/bin/bash
FIFACE="eth3"
BRIFACE="br0"
VIFACE="tap0"
USER="cutter"
TUNCTL="/usr/sbin/tunctl"
BRCTL="/usr/sbin/brctl"
IFCONFIG="/sbin/ifconfig"
$TUNCTL -t $VIFACE -u cutter
$BRCTL addbr $BRIFACE
$IFCONFIG $FIFACE 0.0.0.0 promisc
$BRCTL addif $BRIFACE $FIFACE
$IFCONFIG $BRIFACE 0.0.0.0 up
$BRCTL addif $BRIFACE $VIFACE
$IFCONFIG $VIFACE 0.0.0.0 up
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/$VIFACE/proxy_arp
=======================================================
==> /etc/vbox/netdown.sh
=======================================================
#!/bin/bash
FIFACE="eth3"
BRIFACE="br0"
VIFACE="tap0"
USER="cutter"
TUNCTL="/usr/sbin/tunctl"
BRCTL="/usr/sbin/brctl"
IFCONFIG="/sbin/ifconfig"
$BRCTL delif $BRIFACE $VIFACE
$BRCTL delif $BRIFACE $FIFACE
ifconfig $BRIFACE down
$BRCTL delbr $BRIFACE
$TUNCTL -d $VIFACE
=======================================================
I don't pretend what it's a true way, but it works for me.
