Host machine lost connection once virtualbox is closed or turned off. Help!

[onlineph]

Hi,

I am running pfs via virtual box (updated).

I am using a static ip. (leased-line ISP)

I configured the static ip under pfs WAN interface.

Problem: I can no longer remote my host machine if the vbox is turned off. This makes me difficult to manage pfbox remotely.

Is there anyway that the internet connectivity of the host machine is not dependent on pfs running on vbox?

Previously, my host machine is running on a dhcp source (router), so I have no problem managing the pfs in vbox, the host machine still get internet connection even if the vbox is not running.

Any fix is highly appreciated.
