VirtualBox - Connecting host and client


Hello,

I am trying to config linux box as router.

I have CentOS 5.5 client and host in VBox. I can't connect them (I am using bridge adapter mode) as I don't have router in between.

I just created DHCPD on host, and followed

http://users.telenet.be/mydotcom/how...uter/linux.htm

But that don't seem to work also. Host is 192.168.1.10 and client is 192.168.1.100 but when I ping host from client, it says Destination host unreachable.

Can anyone provide me with solution?

Do you have a firewall up on either side?

OK. This problem is solved and it created another confusion. (There were no firewall rules btw.)

http://www.itoperationz.com/2009/07/...-network-card/

This was great tut. So here's my network layout

Code:
Internet <-- EVDO Internet Data Card <-- Host (NAT) <-- Client 1
                                             ^   ^----- Client 2
                                             ^----------Client 3
There's no client 2 actually but it would work now. Config's done.

Now new confusion is...

Code:
route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 61.5.156.146 dev eth0
If I add same command (with needed modifications like ppp0 as dev and different gw) in my host machine, things don't work. And if I remove this particular custom route, things work. Any idea why????
