OS X Mavericks CentOS Network interface unavailable

Post by freshpowder »

I have searched for days to find out why I can't get a freakin interface to get assigned an DHCP address and I'm convinced my problem has never happened although I've seen so many posts that have the same problem but with a different solution that eludes me.

I have deleted the VM and recreated it more times than I can count. Used different combinations of NAT, Host Only, etc. Worked through numerous examples of commands, and still no joy.

Mac OS X: 10.10.1
CentOS: 3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64
Guest Additions: 4.3.26

Output of ifconfig -a:

[xxx@localhost ~]$ ifconfig -a
bond0: flags=5187<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MASTER,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

The bond0 interface is something that I setup after trying different variations like VLan. Whatever I try, I get the same result. No inet address.

Here's the host OS network interfaces on the Mac:

Any ideas why I can't get Virtualbox to get an inet address?
