On OSX 10.7.3, VirtualBox, using bridged adapter. Everything on the networking side works perfectly as expected in some networking environments, like my home router and some cafes. In others, I can't get an IP address over DHCP, and I don't know why. I suspect there is some setting on the router that is preventing me, or I have some issue with my MAC adress.
When it's not working, in syslog, I'll see a few DHCPDISCOVER messages as my VM tries to find a DHCP server, and after a while, "No DHCPOFFERS received"
And when I go to a "good" router, a simple "service network restart" is all I need to get an IP.
Any ideas?
1If they have a landing page that you need to sign into or otherwise authenticae through then I would lean towards MAC filtering of some sort. – Melikoth – 2012-09-27T16:57:35.343
