I'm trying to install FreeBSD on VirtualBox in my Ubuntu 11.10 .

When I try to download the packages via FTP, the systems fails to correctly configure the DHCP. There are two possible behaviors, randomly picked every time I retry:

  • The DHCP is almost correctly configured, except my host is .fastwebnet.it rather than the real namehost.fastwebnet.it . Whenever I try to add something before the . , the system edit the field and revert it to .fastwebnet.it

  • Only the netmask is configured, everything else is blank. I can't edit the fields.

I tried both with NAT and Bridged adapter in my VirtualBox settings.
