Setting up Bridged Network
I need to set up bridged network for my VirtualBox guess OS to have a network connection attached to host interface.
So I install bridge-utils package :
I need to add some lines in /etc/network/interfaces
You have to bring up br0 manually for now.
I think, that's it. VirtualBox 2.1.0 doesn't need TAP or TUN interface.
br0 will recognized in the Host Interface list in network setting part for guess OS.
Due to I set my br0 to static IP, I also need to set my network interface in guess OS to static IP (e.g 192.168.10.101) .
So I install bridge-utils package :
$ sudo apt-get install bridge-utils
I need to add some lines in /etc/network/interfaces
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
address 192.168.10.102
netmask 255.255.255.0
bridge_ports eth0
You have to bring up br0 manually for now.
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
sudo ifup br0
