#6540 closed defect

provided DHCP information wrong after update of network config on host during runtime — at Version 1

Reported by: Sandro Steger Owned by:
Component: network/NAT Version: VirtualBox 3.1.6
Keywords: DHCP Cc:
Guest type: Linux Host type: Windows

Description (last modified by Frank Mehnert)

The nameservers provided through the DHCP-Server of VirtualBox don't update if the host DNS configuration changes during runtime of the guest.

In other words: On startup the guest gets the current nameservers as expected. Now the nameservers on the host change (after startup of the guest). If I attempt to update the nameservers using dhclient it will receive the old nameservers.

Such changes on the host might occur when a VPN connection is established, to name one example.

The closure and reopening of the guest refreshes the data. Rebooting doesn't suffice.

You are talking about a NAT interface, correct?
