I have an ubuntu 8.10 server with a virtualbox clarkconnect 4.3 community guest. I have the network setup as follows:
Ubuntu host 10.1.1.254 br0
ClarkConnect bridge to br0 (to host nic) 10.1.1.250
External (cable modem) host *manual unconfigured br1
both are using tap and the latest sun virtualbox-2.2 .deb release
The internal infrastructure is perfect, but the VM will not grab a dhcp address from the cablemodem.. I am wondering if I am missing any steps? Can I hide the host mac address from the modem? I know my isp limits 2 mac addresses which I thought might be the issue. I've tried to enter the same mac address in the vm as the unused host nic but it doesnt seem to work.
