Thread: IP allocation DHCP bug in VirtualBox 4.0.4?


i've set virtualbox host xp guest. have dhcp enabled in virtualbox settings. when start xp in virtualbox, internal dhcp server should assign internal network (vboxnet0) ip address. doesn't. 'ifconfig -a' shows no 'inet addr' , cannot access vboxnet0 virtualbox network xp guest os. i've tried using vboxmanage cli enable dhcp too. doesn't work.

workaround follows: when starting virtualbox first time in session, select 'file>preferences>network , edit host network disable dhcp server. click ok>ok close dialogs. repeat process enable dhcp server again. time dhcp enabled , network ip available. in terminal, can confirm 'ifconfig -a.'

doing '--disable' followed '--enable' vboxmanage cli may work. haven't tested this.

i'm new ubuntu may missing something, looks bug me.
