I am using a Debian OS on virtualbox. It has correctly configured DHCP, which works for any VM OS I run on internal network.
When I switch to bridged, and select the Realtek PCIe FE adapter (ethernet) and connect the host PC with the other PC over lan cable, ipconfig on the host computer shows the ethernet port configured in the DHCP range, but the other PC doesn't recognise a DHCP server and gets a random ip.
What would be blocking the other PC from seeing the server? Could it be something to do with the virtualbox network settings?
I have a tftp and nfs set up, to do a boot over network, which works for the VM OS. And I am trying to boot a laptop with lan connection
