Unable to get IP from DHCP

[Josh]

Since 2.2.0 the guest is unable to get an IP from DHCP using NAT ("Limited or no connectivity"). I set the guest to a static IP and was able to get the internet to work.

I see a lot of this in the log: NAT: DHCP offered IP address 10.0.2.15 But that doesn't mean

XP Pro 32-bit host and guest, w/o the host interface driver installed (shouldn't be required for NAT?).

Tried:

• Clean install of VirtualBox
• Redoing guest configuration
• Setting a new MAC address
• Reinstalling guest additions
• Clean install of XP Pro guest

Strange. Does it change anything when you change the network card to an E1000 type? One of these three types are probably detected by Windows XP, currently I don't remember which one.

The T Server (82543GC), wasn't able to get an IP with that one either.

Does not work in Vista either.

Does the

#ipconfig /release
#ipconfig /renew

in the guest fix problem for you?

No, probably because the DHCP server isn't working.

So could you please do the following

#VBoxManage modifyvm <your-vm> -nictrace1 on -nictracefile1 c:/dhcp.pcap
#VirtualBox -startvm <your-vm>

and attach result file to defect?

and repeating step with renew lease.
