Hi Steve,

Which interface do you attach bridge to: wired or wireless? What type of network adapter do you use in VMs? What are MTU sizes in both host and guest? You can also do packet trace (VBoxManage modifyvm <vm_name> -nictrace1 on -nictracefile1 <capture_file>, replace 1 with actual number of adapter if your VMs have many) to check if the packets actually get through to VM.

Regards,
Aleksey

Ok here are some other symptoms I'm getting.

I find that, intermittently, I can get a Linux VM to get limited network connectivity through bridging.

When I do the connection is extremely bad. I can ping through it but accessing web pages or 'apt-get update' do not work.

My OSX workstation has firewalling disabled.

Hi there,
I'm having trouble getting bridged networking working.
Host: OSX, 10.4.11
Virtualbox: 2.2.2 r46594
Guests: Debian Lenny, Debian Etch, Ubuntu Jaunty.
I've had XP working as guest with bridged networking.
On the DHCP server I can see the guest connecting with DHCPDISCOVER and the server responding with DHCPOFFER. The MAC addresses and IP addresses in the DHCP server logs are correct.
relevent snippet from DHCP server logs:
May 27 11:07:29 names dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 08:00:27:a9:93:dd via eth0 May 27 11:07:29 names dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 10.10.10.103 to 08:00:27:a9:93:dd via eth0 Somehow the Linux hosts are not getting this and not setting up their network interfaces. I'm surprised it works in Windows XP.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Please remember that an email is just like a postcard; it is not confidential nor private nor secure and can be read by many other people than the intended recipient. A postcard can be read by anyone at the mail sorting office and expecting what is written on it to be private and secret is not realistic. Please hold no higher expectation of email.

If you need to send confidential information in an email you need to use encryption. PGP is Pretty good for this.
