What are you using for Network Bridging.. built in leapard ?

Post by jerryn »

Built in leapard support doesn't bridge to the same network. I enabled dhcp in my OpenSuse 11.3 guest and I got a 192.168.2.10 for an address! That's not gonna work for me LOL.. I want to run several servers that I will be reachable from the outside. Is the open source TAP bridge useable with VirtualBox ?
Is there a MAC bridge extension kicking around that actually works as a bridge ?

Bridging works fine under OS X. If you have several servers bridged to a private network you will need to configure port forwarding on your router. That's how you do it or bridge to a public accessible IP address/network.
