VirtualBox Bridge Adapter Setting

[FlyingPersian]

Hi
I installed a VirtualBox jail and created a virtual Debian. I don't know with what to bridge the adapter to set it up properly. I tried using all the epair's and bridge0, but neither one worked. I don't have an ip-adress and thus cannot SSH into it nor connect to the internet. em0 did work, but then I couldn't access any GUIs from my NAS except the FreeNAS GUI and the phpVirtualBox GUI. CouchPotato, Plex etc didn't work. Does anyone have any idea what to do so that the network is working?

Kind Regards

There is a section in the virtualbox GUI for the VM you created called network. Click the drop down arrow on "Attached to:" and change it from NAT to Bridged adapter. Next time you start your VM it should pull an IP from your router and you should be all set.

Yes yes I know that, but i need a value for "name", e.g. em0, epair0a or something. THAT is the important part, I need something there. em0 kills the connection to all my other jails, so I cannot access plex nor couchpotato nor owncloud. Can I see a screenshot of your network window?

Mine is epair3b but yours will be whatever your network interface assigned to that jail is. I have never changed mine and it was listed there by default.

Do you have VIMAGE or NAT ticked in the jail settings? My vbox-jail looks like this when I do ifconfig:

Okay found my error! I misread the instructions, I had to ENABLE VIMAGE, not disable it -.-
