virtual machines able to network between host and guest os

[Dave Germiquet]

Hi Teddy,

I was able to get bridge networking to work with kubuntu, using these
settings: (this is an example)

/etc/network/interfaces

# 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
auto br0
iface  br0 inet static
address 192.168.1.101
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.2
bridge_ports eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 0.0.0.0

You also have to add some interfaces using Vboxaddif:

/usr/bin/VBoxAddIF vbox10 br0

Then you use these settings in virtualbox

Attached to: Host INterface
interface name: vbox10

Here's a URL for more information:

Do some more research on bridge networking, with some tweaking you
should get it :)
