Hi All,
to document and maybe save someone else the time:
I installed a pristine Debian 6.0 Squeeze guest/client under VirtualBox
3.1.6
and got the problem that the network interface didn't get an (dhcp suplied)
ip address.
It's a squeeze problem since dhcp of the pxe boot of the client (which was
used to install
Squeeze) does function.
I was able to work around this by disabling allow-hotplug in
/etc/network/interfaces
and adding an auto statement:
# allow-hotplug eth0
auto eth0
Sincerely,
Jan.
