natsettings1 error

[Maverick__84]

VBoxManage modifyvm “VM Name” –natsettings1 1500,1024,1024,1024,1024

Is this command still supported? I get the following error

VBoxManage: error: Unknown option: -–natsettings1

I think you need a space between --natsettings and 1

[socratis]

No space needed according to the manual. Ch. 9.11.3.
I've never used this personally, but I tried it exactly as you typed for a test VM, and I got no error. The .vbox file was modified from:

...
<NAT>
....

to

...
<NAT mtu="1500" sockrcv="1024" socksnd="1024" tcprcv="1024" tcpsnd="1024">
...

What version of VirtualBox are you running? What host?

[loukingjr]

I finally got around to looking up the command and there is no space. The command works here.

did you happen to add yourself to the vboxusers group in your host?

[Perryg]

While adding your user name to the vboxusers group is advisable and mandatory if you want to use USB in the guest it should not prevent VBoxManage from working.

I wouldn't trust precise (12.04) on a 14.04 host. Use raring instead and the 4.3.10 release.

Be sure to get the extpack if you intend to use USB, vRDE, Etx..
