Hi,

My Host OS is Centos 6.9 and virtual Box is 5.1. I created a VM in VirtualBox with OS Centos 6.9 and configured as bridge mode by providing the static IP to guest of the same LAN as Host.

I am able to ping from Guest to Host, but unable to ping outside the Host, but within the LAN. Internet is also not working in guestos.

When I change the bridge to NAT and selecting the dhcp in guest, internet is working OK in guest OS.

My requirement is to use VM as a Server in LAN in which Host is connected. I tried for help in the internet, but, no help.

The details of my host server is as below:

Please help in this.

Thank you,

Why static? Did you try to leave it as DHCP assigned?

Is the Bridged mode over a WiFi interface, or over a wired interface?

Why are you running as 'root'? It's the most dangerous thing that you can do to your system. VirtualBox is designed so that it can even run under a 'guest' account. Use your normal login, don't go 'root' on it.

Dear Socratis,

Thanks for your suggestion for normal user login.

My Host is connected with wired interface, not a wifi.

I want my vm has to work as an independent system in the LAN so that it can be accessed by all other user of LAN. I want to implement an online complaint system for our office through LAN.

Our LAN system is static IP based, not on dhcp.

socratis wrote:Did you try to leave it as DHCP assigned?

While the VM settings are in bridge mode and guest system in DHCP is unable to assign the IP Address.

If I changed the VM settings to NAT and DHCP in guest system, it is working, but IP is auto assigned by VM which can not be access by other systems in the LAN.

V N Murthy wrote:While the VM settings are in bridge mode and guest system in DHCP is unable to assign the IP Address.

So you decided to bypass a problem and "fix" it by assigning a static IP? If you can't communicate with your router, enough to get a DHCP address, fixing the address will not solve your communication problems.

Try to see why you don't get an IP from your router. All of this is based of course in the assumption that you have a router that acts as a DHCP server as well...

Our Router is not working as DHCP Server. It is clear. We have to put static IP in each and every system in our LAN.
Then there is no question of NAT in the network settings of VM in virtual box.

The only option is it has to be configured in bridge mode and assigning the static ip to the guest VM.

But, the problem is it is not working here. I have other server in which bridge mode is working perfectly. My aim is to solve this problem.

Did you verify that the firewall is disabled in your RedHat host?

Configure your guest with a static IP as you did originally. Post the output of the following, both from your host AND your guest:

```
ifconfig -a
route -n
```

And, yes, I know that NAT is working, you don't have to say it at every post. The question is why Bridged is not working.

I checked it by disabling firewall, but not worked.

interesting read. Since i am using bridged net myself (without any problem though), my suggestion would be to set up a dhcp server on the host, and configure MAC identification for the specified VM. In my case, the router does it, if properly configured, whereas vbox only does it out-of-the-box for other network types, that you did not select. It is not strictly necessary, to get the dhcp from the router as long as there is a server present and working.
just my 2 cents
