Problem on bridge network

Hi all,

VirtualBox 5.0.14
Host - Ubuntu 14.04 desktop 64bit
VM - Ubuntu 14.04. desktop 64 bit

Following entries works on all running VMs

Code: Select all

⟫ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual

# add bridge ports
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
        address         192.168.0.xxx
        dns-nameservers xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
        network         192.168.0.0
        netmask         255.255.255.0
        broadcast       192.168.0.255
        gateway         192.168.0.1
        bridge_ports    eth0
        bridge_fd       9
        bridge_hello    2
        bridge_maxage   12
        bridge_stop     off
But it doesn't work for newly installed Ubuntu 14.04 VM on ISO. I have been working couple hours and couldn't discover the cause. NAT works without problem.

~⟫ ifconfig -a

Code: Select all

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 08:00:27:2d:53:ad  
          inet6 addr: fe80::a00:27ff:fe2d:53ad/64 Scope:Link

Hi all,

Sorry. I forgot to install "bridge-utils". After having it installed Internet can now be connected.
