Network Issue

Howdy,
I am green to all this so please be gentle.
I have gotten a virtualbox machine up and running and have created my 1st virtual machine with a bridged network connection.
All cool, well all cool if you are happy being in that small two machine network!
The Host machine is Fedora 9 and has a static (real) IP, I can ping and browse thw webserver of the guest machine which is obviously on the same net - just one ip up.
From the guest machine I can ping the host machine.
However from the guest machine I can do little else, can't get out beyond host. I disabled the firewall.... no joy.
Any suggestions?
TIA

Perhaps I did not explain so well.
From within the guest system (xxx.xxx.xxx.149) If I ping my router (xxx.xxx.xxx.150) I get the following which I guess means that my guest can see host (xxx.xxx.xxx.148):
Code: Select all
[root@vps1 ~]# ping xxx.xxx.xxx.150
PING xxx.xxx.xxx.150 (xxx.xxx.xxx..150) 56(84) bytes of data.
From xxx.xxx.xxx..148 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Prohibited
From xxx.xxx.xxx..148 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Prohibited
From xxx.xxx.xxx.148 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Prohibited
The host machine (xxx.xxx.xxx.148) can see the router and internet beyond. For testing I have SE linux on host set to permissive and fedora firewall disabled on guest and host.....

Is the content of /proc/net/route worth showing?

Hey beardo, I'm having my own problems, but since no one else is answering I'll mention that I don't think eth0 should have an IP address.
What does this command show on the host?
netstat -nr
Mine shows three lines with far right column, "Iface", showing br0 for two of the three.
