Bridged Network dont work

[HansAlbers]

Hello,

I try to setup a Ubuntu 16 Server as VirtualBox guest on a Ubuntu 16 Server as host.
Both machines are headless, so i got cli access only.

I configured the guest with following command:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage modifyvm "Web-Server" --nic1 bridged --bridgeadapter1 enp2s0

/etc/network/interface of host:

Code: Select all

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto enp2s0
iface enp2s0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.199
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.1.0
        broadcast 192.168.1.1
        dns-nameserver 192.168.1.1

ifconfig of the host system:

    broadcast 192.168.1.255
    gateway 192.168.1.1
    dns-nameserver 192.168.1.1

              UP BROADCAST MULTICAST   MTU:1500    Metric:1

etc... I have to type the guest codes because i cant c&p in remote desktop.

Code: Select all

VBoxManage showvminfo Web-Server--details

shows:

Code: Select all

NIC 1:           MAC: 0800271FC849, Attachment: Bridged Interface 'enp2s0', Cable connected: off, Trace: off (file: none), Type: Am79C973, Reported speed: 0 Mbps, Boot priority: 0, Promisc Policy: deny, Bandwidth group: none

I cant get any connection from guest to other machines or from others to the guest.

Where is my error?

Code: Select all

Cable connected: off

You need to enable the port ( on ) to be able to use it.
