DNS not working in bridged networking on Windows host v3.1.2 — at Initial Version

Description

I upgraded to version 3.1.2 and have not been able to get guest DNS resolution to work under bridged networking. I have tried this with OpenSolaris, Fedora, WinXP and Win7 guests. All are consistent. If I select NAT the guests' DNS resolution works fine. However, if I use bridged networking I get no name resolution. DHCP assigns the DNS server correctly and I can ping the name server and I can access Internet sites via ethernet addresses. The only problem seems to be the name resolution.

Here is some NAT info from a successful DNS config. Again, it is NAT.

Here is a bridged session. I can ping the 192.168.1.1 or even the google.com IP address. I just cannot get ANY name resolution at all...


[gary@fedspike ~]$ nslookup google.com

Is it possible that there is a problem in the VBoxNetflt driver? It seems to have been updated in 3.1.2 for Windows.
