VirtualBox 4.1.12 Ubuntu Host Bridged Networking
- by hidden_premise
Setup
Ubuntu Server 11.10 x64
VirtualBox 4.1.12
One network adapter eth0 with a static IP address
My /etc/network/interfaces looks like
#Local loopback
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
#Primary Interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.0.0.6
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.0.0.1
Need
Static IP for Ubuntu Host
Static IP for multiple Ubuntu guests
My attempt
Downloaded the .deb for 64bit virtual box
dpkg -i virtualbox.deb
Create a VM and install ubuntu server 11.10 x64 from ISO
Set the networking mode to bridged and choose 'eth0' as the interface
Fail.
None of the guides I can find for bridged networking work because everything changed since vbox 2
