Aborted

[GRS]

I hve Fedora 7 64 Bit running on AMD Mboard. Fedora 7 as host
VB version 1.5 loaded.
I have loaded XP and installed the options.

Had some problems in finding out what to do to set up the bridge networking
Foundan article www.yum-extenber.org/wiki/Fedora/Virtualbox which I followed as well as the Fedora section of the VB Manual.

This may not be the best solution but I want to get something going.
I have the network working in the host. I can connect to the internet and see the other computers on my network.

Now if I go to network in VB, Adaptor 0 attached to and set it to host interface and enter the Interface name as 'vbox0" when I goto start XP I am told ABORTED"!!!

I have tried with the XP firewall off.

If I then reset the Attached to to NAT I can start XP but I get no network connection although it seem to indicated it is connected in the Icon. There is no explorer connection to the internet anyway.


What have I done wrong?

IS there a better way to set up the bridging? If so where can I find it?
I must admit I would like to have the setup so that I did not need to do anything to get it all going each time I want to use XP. IP tables, fire walls permissions etc. I would also like to use static address.

Any ideas please.

I assume that you have "Attached To" set to NAT

Do you have the "Cable Attached" box checked?

Could you cut and paste the output of ifconfig ?

I assume that you have some sort of router set up - do you have DHCP reservations for the host and guest images? If so, please verify MAC addresses are as expected.

the IP address I had on the Eth0 card before I set up the bridge was 192.168.0.xx and the gateway 192.168.0.x. The DNS is 192.168.0.x. The asdl modem is part of the lan switch.

Currently the "Attached to" is set to NAT. I have not set any thing to do with NAT up that I am aware of. I I try to set "Attached to" to Host and fill in below the vbox0, then start XP it say "aborded" within a couple of seconds.

"Cable attached" is checked

I can ping from the host the br0 IP address but it does not work from XP.
I can share a folder between XP and the host.

Thanks for responding to my questions it is appreciated.

I have seen this on my machine. It was wrong permission on /dev/net/tun. Look into ~/.VirtualBox/Machines/YourMachine/Logs/VBox.log.

IS there a better way to set up the bridging? If so where can I find it?

Here, but without a bridge:

I have the identical problem. I set permission of /dev/net/tun to read/write for everyone, but my Guest still has no internet.

VBox.log shows no errors. What should we look for in the log?

Below is the ifconfig file

I miss your vbox0 or tap0 interface. Where is it?
You cannot use NAT together with a bridge.

I set permission of /dev/net/tun to read/write for everyone, but my Guest still has no internet.

Have you all interfaces (at least eth0 and vbox0 or tap0) up and added to the bridge?
