I am running SuSE 11.3 64 bit as guest OS in Win7 64 bit using Virtualbox 4.3.12. The issue I face is described below
1) I originally used "NAT Networking" for the VM and everything worked fine.
2) I change to "Bridged Networking". It also worked fine as long as I let SuSE use DHCP. However when I try to use a fixed ip, there is no network connection after YaST has updated the configuration.
3) If I change back to DHCP there is still no network connection. For that reason I suspect there is a bug in YaST: the script it executes invalidates network configuraton. I have to revert back to a snapshot.
I the YaST 'network settings' dialog there is an option to enter a hostname. It does not matter if I accept what is proposed or f I try something else. The ip and subnet-mask I am entering are definitely valid. The Wndows host also uses fixed p (192.168.1.10) and works fine. For SuSE guest I use 192.168.1.11 (what is inside the pool of ip's reservered by my router for fixed ip's). Subnet mask for both is 255.255.255.0.
For my needs I need Bridged Networking with a fixed ip. Did I overlook something? Is there bug in YaST? Or can somebody guide me how to create a functional network configuration a non-YaST way?
