Bridged network not working to internet

Post by jmanatee »

I am trying to get this working on a a rented VPS

So I am Nesting VB on VMWare

I am new to VLan tagging
VMWare is using (I think) trunked VLan Tagging

VMware guest is Win2008 r2 and I am running Virtualbox 5.2.16 on it with two guests

VB Guest 1 PFSense with 2 nics one is a bridged adapter the other is a internal network
VB Guest 2 2008R2 with 1 nic on the internal network

In test environment Win7 Host (No VMWare or VLan tagging) everything works.
Moved to live environment and all internet traffic stops working

But I can ping from the VMWare guest (2008 r2) to VB pfsense and to VB 2008r2 and from VB pfsense to VMware Guest
Can open a browser from VMWare guest and open a site on the VB 2008r2 server

Originally VMware was configured to tag all traffic from the VM guest intel pro/1000 as vlan5
Tried having pfsense do the vlan tagging
have currently updated intel drivers on VM Guest and have the VM guest NIC doing the vlan tagging

Attached is the vbox.log from the pfsense

Not sure what to try now.

Any suggestions?

I'll cut to the chase; nesting virtualization is not supported at this moment.

And VLAN tagging has its own set of problems. See for example viewtopic.php?f=8&t=80965

I have done nested virtualization many times in the past with out issue,

Is this a problem with VB 5.2?

Good for you. Still the answer stands; it's not supported.

I guess nobody does unsupported things with Virtualbox?

Maybe somebody could give a clue as to where to look to make this work...

Make what work? What are you trying to do? You did not ever tell us what the aim of this exercise was.
