Host Interface Networking Problems.

Post by virtualmike »

Hello All.

On a Test machine I'm tying a set up with PCLinux 2007 (host) XP (Guest) .
I want to test a set up with my printer running off XP , because I cannot get good quality prints with Linux.

VB runs well with the basic install.

I followed some post to make a "Network Bridge"

With Adapter 1 set to "Host interface" but I get this.

--------------------------
Failed to initialize Host Interface Networking.
VBox status code: -3100 (VERR_HOSTIF_INIT_FAILED).


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

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Doing sudo tunctl -t tap0 -u <username> is not a permanent fix .
Any idea's of a permanent fix please.
Thank you for any help.
I do a search before posting.

Michael.

I recommend PCLinux2007 www.pclinuxos.com
