ModEdit; related ticket: #18056: Linux VM fails to PXE boot on MacOS host
I have latest version of virtualbox (5.2.18) + extensions installed on a 2017 iMac with MacOS (OSX) 10.14 Movave and it seems impossible to make the VM get an IP address from my DHCP server.
I think I tried all possible combinations for configuring the network adapter for the VM but still it fails to get the DHCP IP. I even checked the DHCP server logs and I am sure that the IP used by the VM never reached it.
The config I was expecting to be working:
- Bridged Adapter: en0 (this is the LAN of the iMac)
- Adapter Type: one of Intel ones (but tried all 6 possible alternatives)
- Promiscous Mode: deny
- MAC Address: a generated one
- Cable Connected: Checked.
