Nice notes; many thanks … I had a good working version of all of this using Vbox 1.5.6 with Ubuntu (Gutsy) 7.10(04?) hosting WinXP with parprouted and samba. It failed upon upgrade to Hardy but … now happy again with Ubuntu (Intrepid) 8.10.

Try enabling Multicast forwarding. Should do the trick.

sudo sysctl net.ipv4.conf.all.mc_forwarding=1

I think it’s multicast anyway…could be totally wrong.

Fantastic guide, works really well. Any idea how one would proxy multicast UPNP stuff? I have a upnp multimedia server running on my windows xp VM, however bcrelay and parprouted didn’t help in enabling ‘discovery’ of anything.

Any suggestions?

Cheers!
John.

Hi!
First, I want to thank you for your detailed guides… They are really helpful!
I followed this guide to create a wireless bridge with DHCP for my VirtualBox (inside Ubuntu 8.04) and it worked like a charm, but I would like to ask if you know of a good way to make these settings permanent, or at least help me with a script that would trigger these on upon bootup? This would be really nice!

Thanks for your help!
