[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#855100: virtualbox: nat network not working

[treaki]

Package: virtualbox
Version: 5.1.8-dfsg-6~bpo8+2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

it lookes like that whatever i do the nat network feature isnt working.

   * What led up to the situation?
i tryed to get it to work, but what ever i do i cant access anything through its intigrated router, its not even pingable from the vm. The normal nat option is working only the nat network option isnt so i cant setup inter vm communication as expected. also i am missing a combined version of nat network and host only network where the host can participate in virtual networks which has outside access through nat. but first of all the thing it self has to work.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
set up nat network using the gui and put it on some network cards of my vm, done everything from the vm side to try to acces global hosts but wasnt sugsessfull, sometimes dhcp workes sometimes it dosent.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
done a ps aux and found out:
