No DHCPOFFERS received. > It would appear that Ubuntu has not correctly installed the bridging adapter. Did you check out the links I provided on setting up a bridging device on Ubuntu w/ vBox? They worked for me, I set up an Ubuntu VM and in the VM setup a test VM of vBox to boot fbsd (8.1 in my case). NOTE: I do not recoomend setting up a VM within a VM, I did it strictly as a test to boot and get network access. Which it did.
