I've installed VirtualBox v5.2 on a CentOS 7.4 machine, but VMs set up with bridged networking can not 'see' past the VirtualBox host machine
i.e. the VM can ping the host and vice versa, but the VM can not ping anything else and other machines on the same subnet can't ping the VM
There are no firewall rules configured on the 7.4 host and selinux is disabled
I have a similar set up on a CentOS 6.9 host, where everything works as expected
Googling doesn't show up any similar issues, so I guess I'm missing something on the host machine
Does anyone have any idea what could be the issue?
I've manged to 'solve' the problem - which wasn't anything to do with CentOS 7 ... the host running CentOS 7 was patched into a switch with MAC access control enabled - as were the two other CentOS 7 boxes I tried - whereas the CentOS 6 host(s) I used had no MAC access control enabled
Just wish it hadn't taken me nearly a day to work that out :-)
Sorry for the noise
