Sounds like you're binding to the wrong
interface for your bridge for vbox. You shouldn't need to put it
in promiscuous unless you're intending to sniff actually with
wireshark or like.
As asked, ifconfig -a would be helpful.
What is your "outside" interface you're bridging to? Where does
the "host" get it's address from?
Make sure vbox is binding to "that" interface.
I've not ever had an issue with that occurring unless picking the
wrong interface on the system on wired.
Ahh, yes on "wired". Wireless is different - depending on the
wireless, the router/ap might not let you get another address.
Enterprise (and commercial hotspot systems) wifi systems like
cisco do things like dhcp binding for the host, disallowing you as
the cpe device from binding with an additional mac address on that
session as "bridged". Your only alternative at that point is to
use the nat interface for translating you out via your acquired
host address off an internal interface.

Hello all,
I have an problem that I cannot
seem to figure out.....
I am trying to use "Bridged"
networking in Virtual Box to a
CentOS 7 minimum install distro
that I want to use for my
development server.
I have used Bridged networking in
the past and never had any issues
but that was with older versions of
CentOS
The issue.... DHCP will not assign a
IPv4 address to the server.
Here is the weird part... I was at
startbucks and actually got it to work!
(Please, hold the "Just use it at
starbucks then" comments..I know....)
Here is the process I used...
-Installed a fresh CentOS 7 on VBox
-While on NAT, I performed "yum update" so my
server was fresh with the latest
-Disabled SELinux
-Disabled the Firewall
-Shut down server to reconfigure the adapter to
"Bridged"
-used adapter type of "Intel Pro 1000 MT Desktop
(82540EM)"
-set it to "Promiscuous Mode"
-restart the server
Again, at Starbucks it assigned a IP address, so this leads
me to believe that the issue is with a configuration on my
router.
I am not very good at networking, so any help would be
appreciated.
If you need error messages or other output, let me know (and
possibly the command as I don't know networking that well other
than "ifconfig")
