[vbox-dev] Help configuring network with differente Host IPs

[Gabriel Madeira - gmail]

I have read many reviews on intenet but I could not solve the problem that I
describe bellow. I need some help please





I have a notebook with ubuntu 12.04 virtual box running as guest in a
Windows 7 64bits host.



I use bridge connection under virtual box.



Everything was ok at home, that is, both guest and host sees each other and
guest could connect to internet.

My guest has a static IP and my host dhcp.



But when I moved to work where I have different gateway and had to put a
static ip to my host, it cannot access the guest anymore and guest has no
internet connection.



---------------------------------------------------------------

Host at home:



DNS: 192.168.1.1

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

Ip: 192.168.1.xxxx (get dinamycally)



Guest:

Set as static ip.

The /etc/network/interfaces file:



auto lo

iface lo inet loopback



auto eth0

iface eth0 inet static

address 192.168.1.25

netmask: 255.255.255.0

gateway 192.168.1.1

dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 192.168.1.1



----------------------------------------------------------------



Host at work:

Ip: 192.168.0.125

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

Default gateway: 192.168.0.1

Preferred DNS: 192.168.0.1



Guest:

Set as static IP



auto lo

iface lo inet loopback



auto eth0

iface eth0 inet static

address 192.168.1.25

netmask: 255.255.255.0

gateway 192.168.1.1

dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 192.168.1.1

-----------------------------------------------------------------



I know that it has to be with host configuration, but how to solve this so I
can use virtual box both at home and at work ?? What is the correct way of
doing this ?



Thank you all in advanced !!

Please ask such configuration questions in the forums, there are people
who can give advice (normal usage would be DHCP in the guest, too). This
mailing list is meant for development related topics.
