virtualbox.org

Hi,
I made a few installation of virtualbox 1.6.2 on fedora core 8 and never add this problem before but my fedora 8 won't install on my new hp server so ... I had to install fedora 9.

Everything is perfect until I tried to bridge an network interface.

Code: Select all

Everything looks fine except that on the fedora 8 box eth0 don't have a inet adrr only br0 have one. Anyway the problem is that the network interface on my vm never aquire an IP address.
If anyone can help me???
Thanks

did you set the right group access to /dev/net/tun ? Can you dump your /etc/network/interfaces as well as the result of a "route" command ?
