Hi All,

I've run into a wall and relying on you people to help me out here :)

I've got a Windows 7 Pro (x64) host running Virtual Box, all my virtual Windows PC's work fine with bridged networking.

I've installed 2 Linux vms 1xIPCop and 1xLubuntu and neither of them will work with bridged networking.

Has anyone had this problem before as there doesn't seem to be anything clear cut on the web as to why it doesn't work.

With the Lubuntu machine I've had NAT working and it can go online, when I select bridged it just says I'm disconnected from the network.

The only thing I can think of is that somehow my network on my host pc isn't compatible?

My network card is a Intel I217-LM.

Cheers

So it turns out our IT department I limited 1 port on the switch to hand out 1 IP which has caused this problem.

At least I've got to the bottom of it not working!
