Then reassign the IP.
Yes, this was helpful, but I'm still getting an error from VirtualBox when it starts: -3100 (VERR_HOSTIF_INIT_FAILED). I resolved one problem: retaining access to the host system when configuring the bridge. Most instructions say to do "ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc" or similar. Replacing this with "ifconfig eth0 promisc" retains the IP for the host. I did the following: brctl addbr br0 brctl addif br0 eth0 ifconfig eth0 promisc ifconfig br0 192.168.20.140 netmask 255.255.255.0 up tapctl -t tap0 -u vbox brctl addif br0 tap0 ifconfig tap0 up In VirtualBox, the settings have Host Networking and interface set to 'tap0'. When I start the VM, I get the above error message. -- Michael Eager [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1960 Park Blvd., Palo Alto, CA 94306 650-325-8077 _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
