Hi all, I am using VirtualBox 4.2 at FreeBSD 9.1 host. I've set up virtual machine with one bridged NIC with PXE Boot. I'd like to boot the diskless FreeBSD system in the VM, using TFTP (works in my physical environment) First step is to boot the PXE environment - and it works - The VM gets correct IP address from DHCP server. The next step is to download the kernel and configuration file (loader.conf) via TFTP. All the packets sent from TFTP server are sent to VM MAC address and my physical NIC doesn't get it ;( (on tcpdump at host machine I notice only RRQ TO server, but no answers FROM server.. on server-side of course answers are sent) I thought that bridge works in Layer 2 ISO/OSI, so theoretically it should be working.. Today I've started thinking about using vde_switch, but I can't find any info about how to set an up-link to physical NIC in host machine Do you have any ideas/ solutions? Regards, -- Marek Salwerowicz
