Oh yes I have made snapshots - like when I did a full install of XP Pro and did all the updates the 700 reboots I made a snapshot so I could recover to it if I needed to.

Good link on the user guide - I'll check it out. I wasn't familiar w/ the export/import feature Thank you so much!

I'm using Vbox on Ubuntu 9.10 with an XP guest. I'd like to copy the existing XP guest image to a Windows Vbox host. I'm familiar with vdi's and vhd's but I wasn't sure which files are required for each VM to operate - and if those files are the same on Windows as they are on Linux. Of course if you...

Well the folder named .VirtualBox won't be touched and I understand that, but would there be any read or permission problems with a non-ose version of VirtualBox reading from a folder created by the OSE version? I just wonder if I install the non-ose version of VirtualBox and try to start up my vm's...

I installed VBox OSE from source in the 2.6.32-020632rc5-generic kernel on Ubuntu 9.10. I plan on installing the non-ose version when the kernel is fully released or a more stable 2.6.32.x version is released. Does anyone know if it will be a problem to use the same .VirtualBox folder and thus keep ...

I know newbs post w/o reading (myself included sometimes) but I just don't see how it really ruins anyone's day to post a few lines of reply. I know you - I remember you helped me a lot w/ an important project last year and I am forever grateful - and I know you're a good mod but he has 1 post. It's...

Or you can just answer his question and stop being rude to people. Just remove 2.2 using: and THEN install 3.0 or above from the .deb.

Finally got to the machine. auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto br1 br2 iface br1 inet static address 0.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 bridge_ports eth1 vbox1 iface br2 inet static address 0.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 bridge_ports eth2 vbox2 iface vbox1 inet manual iface vbox2 inet manual iface eth0 inet stat...

Yes, they are physical interfaces - I have three NIC's in the machine - and I do have each VM mapped to vbox1 and vbox2, respectively. I'm not at the machine right now but I should be able to get you a copy of that config tomorrow.

Hi, Sasquatch :D I have the same configuration file except that I renamed the interfaces eth0, eth1, and eth2 by changing the association of their mac in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. I'm not directly in front of the machine now but if you need me to post outputs I can get them momentar...

I have some VM's bridged to their own physical interface via instructions on this link . I've always wondered what exactly I should see in ifconfig for a Ubuntu host and any guest o/s. For example, sometimes I'll lose connection while a vm is running. So, on the host I'll do /etc/init.d/networking r...

Ha, that looks pretty sweet! VDE is in the Ubuntu repos too. I'll check it out. I've not heard of IP-forwarding with respect to VM's before so I'll read up on that as well. This will help me understand what goes wrong when I have DHCP assign the incorrect default gateway and other things. Have you e...

Is there a way to implement the use of virtual network devices like virtual routers and virtual switches in VB? I'd like to test connecting virtual machines to a virtual switch, virtual router (gateway) so I can trace connectivity between machines. I suppose I could just bridge the machines to their...

Ha, you're awesome!! Here are a couple screenshots: http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/2606/screenshotubuntuserverria5.th.png Ubuntu Desktop requesting an address from Ubuntu Server. http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/2891/screenshotubuntudesktopaj5.th.png Desktop with its IP from the DHCP server.

Yes, I did bridge them using VBoxAddIF and I didn't know the bridge_ports (i'm assuming that's a variable or is it a function that accepts the parameter [interfaces]?) needs BOTH interfaces - I thought it bound the interface declared AUTOMATICALLY with the declared bridge. I thought it was like: aut...

Sorry, but this isn't working for me. I read those man pages and the docs but I must be doing something wrong. Here's what I did: I edited /etc/network/interfaces to assign the address and netmask you suggested: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto br0 iface br0 inet static address 0.0.0.0 netmask 25...
