Correct but note, that this interface is not visible from machines other than the host. > If so, how do you choose what IP the guest has? Is it hardcoded, or > can you run a DHCP server on one of the guests? unfortunately, the user manual was not yet full updated to describe host-only networking in every detail. Section 6.7 is at least a start. Just select host-only as network interface. You have to select a host-only interface which is usually vboxnet0. Then go to the global settings page and change the settings for that interface. The IP / netmask are for the host side of this interface. On Windows you can choose to assign the IP for the host side from a DHCP server. This is not possible on Linux yet. Furthermore you can assign a DHCP server to that interface to make a guest receive DHCP leaves. Kind regards, Frank -- Dr.-Ing. Frank Mehnert Sun Microsystems http://www.sun.com/
