Bridged Network not working in kali virtual machine

Post by TheShade007 »

I'm trying to connect using the bridged adapter in my kali virtual machine, but I cannot ping to external sites like google, etc. Whereas I can successfully ping in my internal network. NAT works fine and connectivity is successful in NAT, but is not so in Bridged
I'm using VirtualBox 5.0.10
Using Ethernet cable connection in my host machine
Host machine has Win 8.1
Guest Machine has Kali Sana 2.0

Do you get an IP when using BridgedMode? Can you ping the gateway? The DNS server? 8.8.8.8?
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

Thank You for your response,
Yes I do get an IP when using bridged and the guest machine is also listed in the dhcp clients lists in my router config page.
Yes I can ping my gateway, 192.168.0.1 which is the address of my router..
I cannot ping my ISP gateway..
I cannot ping 8.8.8.8
I cannot ping any address external to my LAN

EDIT: I have a dual booted host machine consisting of a Ubuntu counterpart, So I wanted to state that Bridged Mode is working absolutely fine in Ubuntu, But is Not working in win 8.1 ... Is this a bug? Can someone confirm?
