I have a Gentoo linux box on my laptop (Centrino), and I installed other distributions with virtualbox.
The problem is that I can have internet access only with Nat configuration, but none with "host interface".
I configured a bridge following this howto: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO:_VirtualBox
My lan is wireless, 192.168.1.0/24, my router is 192.168.1.1, I have my laptop configured with static IP 192.168.1.11 using a bridge br0 between eth1 (wireless interface) and tap0.
In /etc/conf.d/net I have:
-------------------------
tuntap_tap0="tap"
config_tap0=( "null" )
tunctl_tap0="-u mauro"
bridge_br0="eth1 tap0"
config_eth1=( "null" )
config_br0=( "192.168.1.11/24" )
depend_br0() {
need net.eth1 net.tap0
}
brctl_br0=( "setfd 0")
routes_br0=( "default gw 192.168.1.1" )
-------------------------
In my virtual system I have configured a static ip address 192.168.1.111/24, tried multiple routing gw like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.11 but I can't connect to the internet...
It's not a DNS problem because I used the IP address to connect for example to google or whatever..
I also forgot to say that I can't ping my router at 192.168.1.1 from the hosted system...
I don't know what to do, please.. help!
Thanks
