Description
Hi,
virtualbox uses it's own internal DHCP server if the network interface type of a VM is set to 'NAT'.
Unfortunaly I was unable to make VB's DHCP to offer any domain name. Although VBoxManage supports a --natdnspassdomain option, this can just turn domain passing on and off, and did not have any effect. I did not find a hint in the manual, where VB takes the domain from it is supposed to pass through.
Would be quite useful if VB would allow to just configure which domain name is to be passed by the internal DHCP server to the VM. So one could set any random default domain.
regards
Could you please attach the log file and add in the comment how are you using VBoxManage?
