Hi,
after some fiddling I got Linux running on a FreeBSD 8.1 host in bridged mode with several IPs. I cloned the hosts MAC address and need to manually set the ARP entry for the gateway for some reason.
At least I can SSH into the guest now -- but the connection always breaks down after about 35 seconds. Outbound connections don't work either:
$ curl virtualbox.org
curl: (52) Empty reply from server
Also tried booting a different distribution from CD with the same results...
Any idea?
Kind regards,
Steffen

Re: Network problems in bridged mode
Probably solved: upgraded from 3.2.8 to 3.2.10 and rebooted the host -- not sure what the issue was...

Nope, problem reappeared after some idle time...

Re: Network problems in bridged mode
Rebuilt the setup using a host-only if. Seems to work better.
