I have just installed Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop and 8.04 Server with GNOME Desktop on my Virtual Box. Beside some slight glitches, yes, there are some problem with DHCP via MAC OSX host Airport, that I need to manually fix IP, DNS server, and gateway than obtaining from DHCP server. However, via Ethernet connection it seems ok with DHCP.
A closer look at the DHCP server revealed that Ubuntu client did make a DHCP request, and DHCP server did response, but Ubuntu client is not able to receive reply from DHCP server, and this is only happening when network is configured via Airport wireless interface.
It seems to me some kind of firewall or filtering is in place, but I do not know where, it does not seems to be on Ubuntu, since Ethernet connection is OK.
On Airport Wireless interface, windows XP client successfully getting the DHCP information.
Thus, I can safely suspect that it may be VirtualBox/Ubuntu combination that is causing the problem.
Leave the problem aside, Ubuntu did run faster on my Macbook than many other PCs,
Will try to find out what goes wrong and record it here.
