Make sure NAT is selected in your network configuration in VirtualBox, which is default anyways. With guest addons installed, USB should also work. -- With Regards, Mehul Ved ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Now I am not sure what is the cause but the moment I tried to configure wifi uder the guest VBox the host got disconnected from the internet and took almost 1 hour to reconnect. Any clue? it is a issue to worry or just a coincidence. Also under guest my wifi access point was not available fully it was just partially shown the point. Is there any limitation of such nature where the host is deprived of the device if guest wants it ? GY ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

IIRC, in earlier versions (about 18-24 months ago) the user had to be a member of 'vboxusers' group otherwise the VM would not fire up. -- Arun Khan ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

If you want to perform networking functions between the host and guest, you can use the "Internal Networking" or "Host Only Networking" options. These allow multiple VMs on the same host to communicate with each other too. If you have a single VM, then you could as well use the "NAT" option, where by default "10.0.2.15" is assigned as IP of guest via DHCP and "10.0.2.2" is the internal virtual interface's IP of host. If an encrypted connection is what you want, then you can create a VPN server and client design (using OpenVPN maybe) in one of the options mentioned above. It's the same process as creating a VPN server and client design between two machines in a normal scenario right, or am I missing something here? -- Thanks and Regards, Hrishikesh Murali ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
