Hi,

I just noticed that when running Virtualbox 4.1.8 with a bridged network
interface, I loose connectivity to another virtual host running in qemu
whose network interface is bridged to my ethernet interface.  After
stopping the Virtualbox instance, I regain connection to the virtual
host under qemu.  Ifconfig doesn't give a clue.  Has anyone seen this
behaviour or, even better, have a solution?

My host is running 8.2-RELEASE, here's the relevant ifconfig output:

em0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=2098<VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_MAGIC>
