Virtualbox headless bridged nic

[JROCK2004]

I am trying to bridge my second nic and having some issues getting the right IP. I ran lsmod and the vboxnetflt is loaded. I can start my vm and use the remote display. The issue I have is the second nic is not getting an ip from the dhcp server.

Code: Select all

NIC 1:           MAC: 0800271A7DD3, Attachment: NAT, Cable connected: on, Trace: off (file: none), Type: 82540EM, Reported speed: 0 Mbps, Boot priority: 0, Promisc Policy: deny
NIC 1 Settings:  MTU: 0, Socket (send: 64, receive: 64), TCP Window (send:64, receive: 64)
NIC 2:           MAC: 0800275506B4, Attachment: Bridged Interface 'eth0', Cable connected: on, Trace: off (file: none), Type: 82540EM, Reported speed: 0 Mbps, Boot priority: 0, Promisc Policy: deny

I do see there is 2 NIC1 but not 2 NIC 2 and not sure if that is the issue or not. Thoughts?

So after getting some help in IRC, I finally figured out my problem. The first thing I had to do was change the config_bridged from being builtin to a module. I then created the bridged interfaface and a tunnel interface. Attached both of those to the bridged adapter. That is what fixed my issue
