Windows Guest Networking

[bkone]

I am trying to get the bridging to work on OpenSuse 11. I have the interface up and running but when I start my Windows XP virtual machine it cannot get an IP address. I followed the instructions on page 78 of the manual, 6.7.1.2 Bridging on openSUSE hosts. Everything looks good on the Linux host and I changed the Network within VB to use Host Interface vbox0 but when that virtual boots up it is not getting an address from my DHCP host.

I want my virtual machine to look like another machine on my physical network like I can do with Vmware which gets a dynamic address from my router and not using NAT. Any thoughts or ideas on what I have done wrong or am missing? Trying to get this to work for just shy of 2 days. NAT is good and all but I have network resources I want to utilize such as printing that NAT doesn't work very well with.

Thanks!
