VirtualBox Network Doesn't Work

S

Scotoner

Well I installed virtualbox-ose and then created a Windows 7 System in. I choose bridged type of network adapter but it seems that VB can't recognize it because no indicator is flashing on the network icon. I have added
Code: 
vboxnet_enable="YES"
to /etc/rc.conf. Any help would be great!
 
First of all, thank you for answering. I checked the threads ... I am really noob to unix and in virtualbox but I think that what I need here is to bridge vboxnet0 with re0. Could you please guide me how to do that because I got so confused with all these commands. Also here is my ifconfig
Code: 
re0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
	options=389b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_UCAST,WOL_MCAST,WOL_MAGIC>
	ether 00:0f:ea:5c:00:91
	inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
	media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
	status: active
plip0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384
	options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM>
	inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 
	inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 
	inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 
	nd6 options=3<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV>
vboxnet0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
	ether 0a:00:27:00:00:00
Thank you!
 
Well it looks like that the solution was really easy... I change the network advanced setting to
Code: 
Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540OEM)
Looks like Windows 7 needs a special setting on VirtualBox. Anyway thank you for your help :)
