I have read many reviews on intenet but I could not solve the problem that I describe bellow. I need some help please
I have a notebook with ubuntu 12.04 virtual box running as a guest in a Windows 7 64bits host.
I use bridge connection under virtual box.
Everything was ok at home, that is, both guest and host sees each other and guest could connect to internet.
My guest has a static IP and my host dhcp.
But when I moved to work where I have different gateway and had to put a static ip to my host, it wont access the guest anymore and guest has no internet connection.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Host at home:
DNS: 192.168.1.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Ip: 192.168.1.xxxx (get dinamycally)
Guest:
Set as static ip.
The /etc/network/interfaces file:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.25
netmask: 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 192.168.1.1
----------------------------------------------------------------
Host at work:
Ip: 192.168.0.125
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.0.1
Preferred DNS: 192.168.0.1
Guest:
Set as static IP
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.25
netmask: 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 192.168.1.1

Thank you all in advanced !!
