I have the Oracle version of VBox (VirtualBox-5.0- 5.0.10_104061_fedora22-1.x86_64) and it usually doesn't give any issues, but now (under F23) my Windows 7 guest has no network access. I have the appropriate VBox extension installed, and have shutdown and restarted the guest VM, but to no avail.
My guest network is Bridged on virbr0.
Any hints would be appreciated.

Hey Patrick, with this post, you opened what I had experienced before - and it was always a pain to resolve.
At the time, it seemed to have to do with the iptables firewall rules, and routing permissions. Unfortunately, I do not recall how I resolved it.
I did wonder if it was a firewall issue, but I haven't changed my settings recently. Not that that means anything necessarily.

Hi Patrick, Once you enable ip forwarding: sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
edit the firewall rules to allow in and out from the interfaces virbr0 and the interfaces comprising virbr0. For example:
-A INPUT -i wlp2s0b1 -j ACCEPT . . . -A OUTPUT -i wlp2s0b1 -j ACCEPT
ditto for virbr0
However, you might want to add more restrictions to each rule, such as:
-A INPUT -i wlp2s0b1 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
Cheers,
JD
