Post by dubov »

Hi !
Recently installed 1.5.0 on Suse from packages
guest OS - WinXP normally installed and work

But if I change network set from NAT to Host interface - then accept this error message on start machine

Unknown error creating VM (VERR_HOSTIF_INIT_FAILED).
VBox status code: -3100 (VERR_HOSTIF_INIT_FAILED).

Result Code: 0x80004005
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {1dea5c4b-0753-4193-b909-22330f64ec45}

What it's mean and how to correct this ?

The error message is not verbose enough, we are aware of this. The problem is most likely that VirtualBox was not able to open the TAP device. Before starting VirtualBox the TAP device should be created and bound to the user which is executing VirtualBox. Please refer to the user manual section 6.5.1 (the tool is named tunctl of the uml-utilities and shipped as VBoxTunctl if you are using a more recent version of VirtualBox).
