Hi everyone,
I am using VirtualBox, and I've defined two network interfaces for an Arch VM. One is a NAT interface, so that the VM could have internet access; and the other is a host-only interface, so that I can access the VM from the host.
Now, I am using netcfg for managing the network interfaces and have these files:
$ cat /etc/network.d/vbox-nat
CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='NAT connection to use in VBox'
INTERFACE='eth0'
IP='dhcp'
$ cat /etc/network.d/vbox-hostonly
CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='VBox Host Only network'
INTERFACE='eth1'
IP='static'
ADDR='192.168.56.101'
GATEWAY='192.168.56.1'
NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
Now, here's the issue: When I start the vbox-nat (eth0) profile using systemctl, it works as expected and I can successfully ping example.com (or any other valid address). But next when I start the vbox-hostonly profile (eth1), I cannot ping anything, but I can access the VM from my host completely fine. When I stop vbox-hostonly, I can again ping without any issues. So in other words, the host-only interface works without any issues, but the NAT interface will work only if the host-only interface is not enabled.
What am I missing?

This post has the same problem (I somehow missed it during my earlier searching). The solution mentioned there worked for me, thanks.
