I agree a bit, you should have the same name for the network interface on your system with the gui and without the gui, otherwise you have to dig into the configuration files in the Machines directory and find the interface name and change it. I use a bridged network. I use rsync to do that, I even do that to make a backup each night, It takes 45 minutes to make a backup like that via 100Mbps Ethernet for the system, the home and the data disc. The sizes of the files are resp.: 16, 21 and 11 GB. -- fr.gr.
