Problem with Bridge Connection - Debian
Posted: 8. Jun 2010, 18:36
Hello. I've searched the forum, but did not find a solution that helped me. So the problem is the following. My host OS is Windows 7 Professional. I've installed as a Guest OS the latest version of Debian GNU/Linux - 5.0.4. Everything is fine, but I cannot manage to configure the Guest OS so it can use the bridged connection. My real connection is through static IP, Subnet, Gateway and DNS. When I bridge the two connections - the real one and the VirtualBox one, I'm setting these parameters for the new MAC Bridge Minipoint. The question is - what parameters to set under Debian for the connection to work? I cannot use another IP address from my network cause it is not working, there is MAC protection. Any ideas?
P.S. I need the Linux, cause I want to test runing a hlds server with a certain mod. That's why NAT connectivity is not a good idea, cause all of the connecting clients have the same IP address... That's the main reason I want to use Bridged Connection. If you can help me resolve it without bridge - it also counts.
