Ubuntu 16.04 with headless Virtualbox Bridged Network Problem

[pradl]

Following problem:
Currently I am setting up the gateway for the severrack, and I want to virtualize a few services. DNS, DHCP and whatnot.
I created base VM (also Ubuntu Server 16.04). One NIC, a Bridged, connected to my Interface pointing directly outwards.
Firewall on the Host and Guests are also completely turned off for now.
Following problem:

Neither Host nor Guest can talk to each other, and Guest cannot reach the outside network either.

I cut out the vrde part since that actually works.
Guest has a static IP (192.168.1.11), but cannot reach the gateway at all. Here is the ifconfig for the Host:

Code: Select all

I am on this issue for 2 days now and have not really found a solution on the internet either. Any push in the right direction would be appreciated.

One NIC, a Bridged, connected to my Interface pointing directly outwards.
...

NIC 1:           MAC: 0800273A4809, Attachment: Bridged Interface 'eno1'

...
Guest has a static IP (192.168.1.11)
...

no1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1e:671c:8f
          inet addr:78.104.88.102  Bcast:78.104.88.127  Mask:255.255.255.192

I see a couple of things from the information you provided.

1. you set a static IP address in the 192.168.x.x range which has no way on this setup to communicate with 78.104.#.#.
2. the bridged interface is listed as 'eno1' but in the ifconfig it is 'no1'. Was that a bad copy/paste?
3. Is the bridged adapter a wireless one?

Please read Chapter 6.2 Introduction to networking modes, if you haven't done so already.

1. Oh yes. The basics of networking have escaped me there! How would I set up a route then to let my Guest communicate with my host?
2. Yep, first letter is just missing.
3. Nope it's wired.
