Networking problem

[jcezanna56]

I install vb 1.4 beta 1 on my macbook pro under osx 10.4.10 as the host.
I created 2 guest, one linux (mandriva 2007) and on windows XP.
Both are working except networking.

At home, my private net for my machines is 192.168.X
I have a dhcp server at 192.168.X.130 that gives an adress for my macbook as 192.168.X.211.
The virtualbox software manage nat and xp ipconfig/all gives configuration 10.0.2.15 as IP address, 10.0.2.2 as DHCP server and 10.0.2.3 as dns server !

There are no new interface on the macbook host.
I can't ping it, nor any other site, except the dhcp server.

The runninig processes with the xp guest are :
jrc 243 7.8 -22.8 886964 478220 ?? S 4:33PM 5:41.65 /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VirtualBox -comment xpcoc -startvm 7eac1130-943b-4c90-558f-fcea35aa0f3d
jrc 277 0.4 -0.0 18060 288 p1 R+ 5:12PM 0:00.01 grep -i box

jrc 238 0.0 -0.4 100376 8264 ?? Ss 4:32PM 0:00.75 /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxSVC --automate

Please, can you explain me what I have to do in order to make networking going well.

I read the manual, but I didn't find the command given for the linux system, nor I really understand exactly what I have to do.

As nobody seems to have a solution for my network problem.
If you can visit google from a guest under virtualbox on a mac, please can you post the following informations :

From the guest, in a terminal window
under windows : form a cmd window : ipconfig/all
under a *niw : /sbin/ifconfig -a

from the host :
ps -auxwww | grep -i box
/sbin/ifconfig -a


Here, are my informations (at the office, internal net is 10.*), if you have any comment, I will be happy to read them..

From a xp guest :

I can't copy/paste :
The guets IP is 10.0.2.15, the gateway and the dhcp server is on 10.0.2.2 and the dns is at 10.0.2.3.

I can only ping the 10.0.2.2.
In the network neighbour-ghood, I have sometimes 'WORKGROUP' with the guest, and nothing more, even in the VB shared folders.

I will really appreciate any help.
Or information about your success...

I have exactly the same problem!? Please can someone tell whats wrong with the setup?

[jcezanna56]

As I have aleady a dhcp server , who knows :
1) where to specify A dhcp server
or
2) where to configure it giving a range of address compatible with my other dhcp server.
My net is in 192.168.X.X, not in 10.0.2.X.
Thank you.

Without this information and networking, virtualbox is unusable.

The guest operating systems will not be visible/accessible on your own network because Virtualbox does not support bridged networking at the moment.
