Hi,

[Edit] Long story short:



My internet adapter fails to get a DHCP lease.



I have a VirtualBox FreeBSD guest running on a Windows host on a laptop. Because I will be on the go, I want to have

a) a direct connection to the internet from the guest with dynamic IP addresses and

b) a host-only connection so I can access services from host on the guest using static IP addresses



I set-up my home router to reserve addresses for all the MACs, so I can access the guest services via internet, but when I'm on the go, I would still like to access the various daemons via "host-only" loopback, i.e., the host should be seeing the daemons wherever I happen to be.



Currently, I'm "on-the-go", connecting via wireless to a router.



The problem is that my Guestie (guest FreeBSD) "refuses" to get an address from DHCP for the "bridged" type for virtio adapter, thus it can't access the internet.



I configured a bridge on the host (Windows) to aggregate wired and wireless adapters, because I need to disable the wireless adapter from time to time. I also configured a lagg failover, that includes only the bridged "virtio" adapter, in order to ease the firewall set-up.



The thing that's interesting is that while setting up network on boot, the internet adapter does

DHCPREQUEST broadcast,

a couple of DHCPDISCOVERs,

fails to get a DHCP response,

tries the recorded lease address,

tries DHCPREQUEST to my home router



I've tried disabling the "host-only" loopback DHCP, but to no avail. So, what could be the next step?
