Internal network not working

Post by ljw1 »

Tried enabling the internal network to allow for the machines to talk to the host without the need of a physical network card. For some reason the host does not appear to be giving itself an ip address, neither are the guests getting an ip. What is the process for enabling the internal network? The manual say to enable the internal network and it should just work, unfortunately this is not the case. Any suggestions?
Host Opensolaris snv134 with VB 4.06.

Internal allows the guests to communicate but *not to the host.
Use host-only to allow the guests to communicate with the host.
See Chapter 8.33 VBoxManage dhcpserver in your VirtualBox users manual for the resolution to the automatic addressing.
