Hi there,
Using VB v6.1 on Windows 10 and created several Linux guest servers. One has now stopped getting an ip address, it is centos7. I run hostname -I and no ip address is listed. The network interface is enabled and connected ok, other guest vms are fine. The network is set up as bridged network.
Any ideas how to troubleshoot this please?

Re: Linux guest loses ip address
The same way as you would troubleshoot any other device on your network which cannot get an IP from DNS. It is most unlikely to be anything to do with VirtualBox.
Once you bridge the vm's NIC to a physical NIC on the host, it behaves just like any other device on the LAN and uses the same protocols and procedures.
