Please skip the whole ifconfig and plumb this or that discussion. Virtualbox works on any interface that is "plumbed" since only then the interface is visible in the menu. A working IP-adress is not necessary. Please put your interfaces on manual IP-assignment and disable nwam. Give an IP-address to 1 interface so you can manage your host-server.
A bridged interface in VirtualBox just means that VB allows all traffic to go directly to your VM client. So: 1. disconnect all ethernetcables from the hostserver 2. put one back in an interface 3. login to the server 4. disable nwam 5. give the online interface a working IP-configuration via ifconfig / nsconfig / nslookup config files 6. make sure no configuration for the other interfaces is to be found inside /etc 7. plumb up a free interface by ifconfig and put a cable in this interface 8. start VirtualBox Gui 9. configure client to use the interface of point 7 10. start the client 11. grab some coffee 12. enjoy _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
