Hi, I'm using ubuntu 8.04 and virtualbox 1.6.2. I'm trying to bridge networking between my host OS and the guest OS, so I'm following a how-to that I found and it was written using exactly the same version of virtualbox and ubuntu.
So, when I do the follow steps:
Code:
sudo invoke-rc.d networking stop
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
bridge_ports eth0
bridge_fd 9
bridge_hello 2
bridge_maxage 12
bridge_stp off
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
In fact, I obtained my IP from the dhcp and also the bridge got the ip static that I want, but I just lost internet conecction, it seems that I'm out of the network services, if I tried to use the internet I received a message from my browser that the proxy is rejecting connection.
My network enviroment is:
-Squid for authentication and access to the internet
-Astaro for web filter
-the network is "A" class
-dhcp
My questions are:
-how can I create my bridge object --for networking between host and guest OS-- and at the same time keep my network services? such as internet
-why the br0 object creates a conflict between the internet connection?
-Do i have to use a Class A ip for br0 setting or can I use the setting that I decide to use? (address 192.168.1.2, netmask 255.255.255.0 ....)
Regards
