Network problems in bridged mode

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

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... :(

Rebuilt the setup using a host-only if. Seems to work better.
