VirtualBox outbound networking

[Sydney Meyer]

Mea Cupla, i guess.. I can confirm that both, NAT and bridged networking, are indeed working fine on 11.1-RC1 too. The "problem" appears to be "only" with ICMP and the way VirtualBox implements NAT, i.e. TCP and UDP work fine. A post from last month stated bridged networking on 11.1 BETA1 onwards wouldn't work either, that i can confirm is working fine, at least here and as far as i can see.

Mike, can your vbox guests send ICMP messages beyond their gateway on 10.3 or is this known behaviour?

Thanks again..

Sydney
