VirtualBox-ose

I've installed VirtualBox-ose from ports and have setup bridged
networking because I couldn't get NAT to work. However, now that
bridged networking is used in the guest, my host doesn't have
internet access. Since the hosts nic was bridged to the guest I
used a second nic but that device also couldn't get Internet access.

I have experience with VirtualBox 2.x-3.x on an OpenSolaris host and didn't run into any problems with networking, but it doesn't seem to work the same with a FreeBSD host.

Has anyone used bridged, NAT, and internal-only networking in
VirtualBox-ose and what configuration did you use for the host and guest vm's?
 
I've used NAT and bridged with virtualbox in FreeBSD. I did not have to change a single configuration option in VirtualBox (or FreeBSD) other than selecting the networking option I wanted to use in the VM settings.

What were your host and guest IPs and subnets, if I may ask?

Using 192.168.1.0/24 on the host and guest (bridged) doesn't work for my host. The guest has Internet access but my host doesn't, only when I stop the VM.

If I also recall, I thought I setup a guest VM with internal-only and was able to ping my router (.1), but get nothing when setup the same way with the FreeBSD host.
 
hosts IP was 192.168.5.101 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. Not sure about the guests IP address. It was whatever it got from the DHCP server :-)

I use bridged and am using 192.168.1.0/24 for both guest and host. No other changes on vbox network setting. Both guest and host can see each other and access the Internet.

And I'm using one NIC.
 
MAC conflict. Fixed and running fine now.

VirtualBox-ose on a FreeBSD host has much lower overhead than when I was using the PEUL binary on an OpenSolaris host.
