bridged connection between virtualbox vm and windows host

[windstory]

I have a problem at bridged connection between virtualbox vm and windows host.

1. host
windows 7 x64.
192.168.0.2

2. virtualbox guest
scientific linux 6.2 x86
192.168.0.5
bridged adapter

I could not make a ping to gateway and open web pages at vm. So I tried these two ways.

1) disabled windows firewall and uninstalled vaccine.
2) install comodo internet security and add VirtualBox.exe and VBoxSVC.exe to Trusted Files".

Please let me know how to make network connection with vm and windows host with bridged adapter for getting ip 192.168.0.x.

Thanks in advance.

I've never had much success connecting Linux to a Windows host using the "Network" icon in the file manager but I can connect if I use smb://Your Host PC Name/ in the address bar . It then connects to any shares you have.

Did virtualbox linux get a dynamic ip address? So 192.168.0.5 was given to linux by dhcp server?
Can linux ping 192.168.0.2 (windows)?
can windows ping 192.168.0.5 (linux)?
Can linux ping ip-address-router?
Can windows ping ip-address-router?

kado897/ I used virrtualbox's shared folder.

Kaktussoft/ Yes. bridged adapter has 192.168.0.x. I've used several years. But recently I got this problem.

Yes Shared Folders work as well.

please answer

So it worked before for years?

 

[windstory]

Kaktussoft/ Yes. several yeas. Also with vmware.

 

[Kaktussoft]

So linux can ping router. Router is same as gateway. But you told before "I could not make a ping to gateway"
totally confused.

The "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/router-eth0" is this.

ADDRESS0=192.168.0.0
NETMASK0=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY0=192.168.0.1

Please understood I'm not an expert og linux. I installed linux following some guide documents, but I lost for years.

The "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/router-eth0" is this.

ADDRESS0=192.168.0.0
NETMASK0=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY0=192.168.0.1

Is DHCP enabled in linux?
Please do /sbin/route
and post output

The result is here.

[root@maestro ~]# /sbin/route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0
default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

The 192.168.0.5 is what I set for linux at windows, and the 192.168.0.4 is what is linux aligned.
Now this is fixed after rewriting "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifgcfg-eth0"'s ip to 192.168.0.5.

still don't understand! did you manually modify "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifgcfg-eth0"? each time after booting linux? It is using DHCP isn't it?

Where and how did you define 192.168.0.5? You say at windows .. but how and where?

 

[windstory]

Kaktussoft/

No, I modified just one time! I told you.

"The 192.168.0.5 is what I set for linux at windows, and the 192.168.0.4 is what is linux aligned."
This means "The 192.168.0.5 is what I set for linux at windows" is when I make new vm I set up vm's networking. "the 192.168.0.4 is what is linux aligned." means that after installation of linux the linux got this ip address.

I'm very sorry for my poor english.

So in linux eth0 ip address is 192.168.0.4 (is it still that?, or is it 192.168.0.5 now?)
Can windows succesfully ping 192.168.0.4, 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.5 ?
