I have set up multiple FC6 VirtualBoxes for testing on my desktop machine. I have them bumped down to 64MB RAM because they're not gui-based boxes. For Wed-Fri of last week, I had them all working over the bridged network that I have created. When I tried to start them back up on Monday, I wasn't able to attach to the network. The NAT network worked, but I need to have the bridged addresses to do the testing that I need to do. I have tried recreating the br0 interface. I just don't know what else to try.

Here is the ifconfig br0:

Code: Select all

br0       Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1a:4d:46:fc:78
          inet addr:192.168.250.42  Bcast:192.168.250.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::21a:4dff:fe46:fc78/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING PROMISC MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:7819141 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:4012802 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:2461653577 (2.2 GB)  TX bytes:294316920 (280.6 MB)

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1a:4d:46:fc:78
          inet6 addr: fe80::21a:4dff:fe46:fc78/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING PROMISC MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:7820485 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:4013721 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          Interrupt:219 Base address:0xc000

And the vb interface:

Code: Select all

root      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:ff:44:ab:7e:21
          inet6 addr: fe80::2ff:44ff:feab:7e21/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:566 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:164 errors:0 dropped:412 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:500
          RX bytes:120025 (117.2 KB)  TX bytes:18642 (18.2 KB)

Here is my /etc/vbox/interfaces:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/vbox/interfaces
# This file is for registering VirtualBox permanent host networking interfaces
# and optionally adding them to network bridges on the host.
# Each line should be of the format <interface name> <user name> [<bridge>].

client dave br0
dns dave br0
attacker dave br0
root dave br0
tld dave br0
windows dave br0
hardy dave br0
nsdmaster dave br0
bindslave dave br0

I have even set NAT through iptables.

Thanks,
Dave

Modedit: Use code blocks next time if you post terminal output.

It appears there's some problem with the /etc/vbox/interfaces getting read appropriately. Therefore, you simply have to just rerun:
sudo VBoxAddIF interfacename interface

e.g. sudo VBoxAddIF client br0

Did you enter the correct HIF name in the Guest network settings? Read the Forum Posting Guide and give the proper info.
