Bridged adapter in Virtual Box - cannot obtain IP

I have virtual box with RHEL installed. My virtual box is running on windows 7 64 -bit. I configured bridged connection, but when I am restarting network interfaces, I receive following error:

Determining IP information for eth1... failed

On Windows XP it works without problems. I disabled Windows Firewall and installed latest Virtual Box, still without success.

NAT is working without any problems. What did I missed?

UPDATE

Ouput of ifconfig -a is:

No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.

Moreover the same machine with the same configuration works well on Windows XP. The problem is only on Windows 7.

Solution 1:

The problem was not with my machine, but my company DHCP server, which block more than one mac on port. It took me two days to find out that problem was "outside" my machine
