Hi! I'm completely new to VirtualBox forum. please have patience with me. I've
installed
virtualbox v1.5.6 on debian etch host machine. Installed windows XP
successfully as
guest OS. Problem is My Network Places doesn't list the network computers. So I
tried to
bridge with br0 as static address.
Here's what i did:
1) I added my user to vboxusers.
2)chmod 0666 /dev/net/tun and group of /dev/net/tun to vboxusers
3) I added the lines for tap0 and br0 in /etc/network/interfaces file at VB
manual says.
So it looks like this:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.1.103
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
dns-nameservers XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
auto tap0
iface tap0 inet manual
up ifconfig $IFACE 0.0.0.0 up
down ifconfig $IFACE down
tunctl_user ad
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
address 192.168.1.103
network 192.168.1.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
bridge_ports eth1 tap0
4) After reboot chose tap0 in VirtualBox Network settings window. Started winxp
but can't
connect to internet or network. My windows xp is setup to fetch IP and dns
address
dynamically. When I use NAT interface in VirtualBox Network settings window,
winxp can connect
to internet but doesn't see network.
Is there anything i missed? For info here's ifconfig:
