Hello,
I want to connect an Ubuntu 8.04 server running in Virtual Box 1.6.4 to my local network using a bridge. The Host is Ubuntu 8.04 desktop.
I set up the bridge following instructions in the virtualbox user guide but I'm having some problems. At least I suppose it is a problem.
So, I can access the server from my network (ping works, apache works) but from the server itself I cannot ping any address on the network but the host.
When I ping anything but the host it says: "From 192.168.1.80 destination host unreachable" 192.168.1.80 is the static address of the server.
If someone can help me on what could be going on...
