Hello,
Not sure if this is an open list anymore.
Anyway, this is to inform that installing virtualbox on a W7 64bits
workstation, one should use the
Intel/PRO 1000 MT Server 82567LM Gigabit adapter which loads as em driver.
Using PCNet or other intel does not work.
Thanks!
Sebastian

That's strange. The NIC selection in the guest config should be unrelated
to the OS or hardware of the host. Using a 32-bit XP host, I can use any of
the Intel NIC types (they all are handled by the em driver) or either PCNet
NIC (handled by the le driver) with no problems on my FreeBSD guests.

Hello Dan,
WIll retry the instalation a save logs.
Using a W7 64bits host with a Stable 8.2 amd64 FreeBSD GENERIC kernel,
could not ping. Didn't try to sniff the network.
Keep you posted.

Thanks
Sebastian

pings won't make it through VirtualBox's NAT. Try bridged mode, or
something other than ping.

Indeed I had used bridge in all my installs.
Strange thing was that even when DHCP was working I was unable to ping
the gateway at my router.
