#6540 closed defect (duplicate)
provided DHCP information wrong after update of network config on host during runtime
| Reported by: | Sandro Steger | Owned by: | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Component: | network/NAT | Version: | VirtualBox 3.1.6 |
| Keywords: | DHCP | Cc: | |
| Guest type: | Linux | Host type: | Windows |
Description (last modified by )
The nameservers provided through the DHCP-Server of VirtualBox don't update if the host DNS configuration changes during runtime of the guest.
In other words: On startup the guest gets the current nameservers as expected. Now the nameservers on the host change (after startup of the guest). If I attempt to update the nameservers using dhclient it will receive the old nameservers.
Such changes on the host might occur when a VPN connection is established, to name one example.
The closure and reopening of the guest refreshes the data. Rebooting doesn't suffice.

Replying to Don:
That is correct.
Could you please try host resolver? That should resolve issue for you.

Setting this property to 0 or 1 makes the VM unbootable. It fails with: Configuration error: Failed to get the "MAC" value (VERR_CFGM_VALUE_NOT_FOUND). Unknown error creating VM (VERR_CFGM_VALUE_NOT_FOUND).
Details:
Fehlercode: E_FAIL (0x80004005) Komponente: Console Interface: IConsole {6375231a-c17c-464b-92cb-ae9e128d71c3}
Unsetting the value solved this problem.

This ticket can be closed or merged with #6540. It describes the same issue only on Mac.
You are talking about a NAT interface, correct?
