I have found that executing the following by hand will correct the situation and allow the vm to boot: ifconfig vboxnet0 10.79.64.1/24 so why isn't this happening automatically? I noticed there are two devices in /dev that had root-only permissions: crw------- 1 root root 10, 59 Aug 28 16:30 /dev/vboxdrv crw------- 1 root root 10, 58 Aug 28 16:30 /dev/vboxnetctl I tried making both chgrp vboxusers (my user is in this group) and chmod g+rw. It didn't make any difference. I also noticed VBoxManage hostonlyifs showed totally wrong IP information, and found that I could change that by running the VirtualBox UI as root, setting up the host-only network the same as I did as a user, and then reloading the modules. However, it still does not work without the manual IP assignment to the device. Hopefully somebody can tell me what to check next...I'm kind of grasping at straws at this point and there's no indications of an error anywhere I can find.
