Hi

I did it that way but didn't work... There's a very strange issue with my
Host Interface behalf... Guest can access any host/ip in my subnet EXCEPT
192.168.1.254 that is the router...

The procedure I followed was this:

----------------------------------------

0. LOAD tun/tap KERNEL MODULE AND ACTIVATE IP FORWARD

        modprobe tun
        echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
        cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
        1 <--- it is active

1. Create a new bridge with this command:

        brctl addbr br0

2. Copy eth0 configuration

3. Remove the IP address configuration from eth0 (here I lose connection)

        ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0

4. Add your network adapter to the bridge:

        brctl addif br0 eth0

5. Transfer the network configuration used with eth0 to br0 (note this is
my working configuration I use for eth0, didn't invent it to try vbox) but
applied it instead to br0

        ifconfig br0 192.168.1.18 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 1500

and add br0 to route

        route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev br0
        route add default gw 192.168.1.254 dev br0

6. Create vbox0 interface

        VBoxAddIF vbox0 myusername br0


Then I enter the guest system (WinXP) and configure

IP: 192.168.1.12
subnet: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.1.254
DNS: ... (the same ones from my ISP as in NAT)

So I get connection in both ways host<->guest but still do output to
internet... well, in fact am unable to access 192.168.1.254 that is the
router and gateway, all other ip's and hosts are accessible, as if this ip
was blocked and in consequence theres no accessible gateway...

Any idea of what is going on?


Thanks for any idea
