Host-only networking is one of the major reasons I am using
VirtualBox. I tried to use VB a while back and, because the feature
was not there, I went back to Parallels for a while. But I would
really like to use VB. I am on a Mac OS X 10.5.8 system, using Virtual
Box version 3.1.0 r55467, and am trying to use Ubuntu 9.10 as the guest.
I went to the Virtual Box application, selected my (non-running) VM,
hit the "Network" header and switched the VM to use host-only
networking. Then I started my VM. I had hoped I could do "ssh
vboxnet0" from my host machine to connect to the guest, but this does
not work. I have openssh-server installed on the guest.
Are there docs more specific to the host and the guest that I am not
finding? I am looking at the manual and, for instance, it says things
like
In the VirtualBox graphical user interface, you can configure all
these items in
the global settings via “File” -> “Settings” -> “Network”,
which lists all host-only
networks which are presently in use.
In the application I have, that menu does not exist. I see "File" ->
"Virtual Media Manager...", "File" -> "Import Appliance..." and "File"
-> "Export Appliance..." and that is all. It makes me wonder if I even
have the right manual.
I am probably missing something obvious. So what is it?
thanx - ray
