Got the extensions installed with the same number as my VBox. Earlier, I had the 4.1.14 extension pack, now it is same as my VBox version: 4.1.18. However, now when I connect my USB device, it doesn't trigger anything in the /var/log. What service or init.d script do I need to restart to make the system behave again? Otherwise, I might just restart the machine to reset it. > 2. When I sync my iPad 2 to iTunes running on the guest XP, I can't use > my favorite USB slot, with the connected extension cable.

Usually, if I am in doubt that a USB port may matter, I juse one from the main board of the machine (from its rear) instead of the slots in the front ... and that is the precaution I am taking now too.
