Log of VBoxNetDHCP ?

[gdargaud]

Hello all,
is it possible to get a log of what VBoxNetDHCP is doing ?
I don't see anything in MyVM/Logs/VBox.log or ~/.VirtualBox/VBoxSVC.log

The reason is that I'm trying to boot a test real-time OS in a VM and it doesn't get an IP, only a 169.* dummy IP. I've tried various modes (NAT, host-only, etc)

A 'ps' tells me that it's running as:

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxNetDHCP --ip-address 192.168.15.3 --lower-ip 192.168.15.4 --mac-address 08:00:27:C4:C3:66 --need-main on --netmask 255.255.255.0 --network natnet1 --trunk-type whatever --upper-ip 192.168.15.254

I killed it and launched it from the command line, adding -v, -vv, -vvv and I get this when I boot my VM:

Code: Select all

frame: cb=0052 dst=ff ff ff ff ff ff src=08 00 27 dc b2 07 type=0800

Any idea what is going on ?
Thanks

I'm not sure that you're supposed to launch VBoxNetDHCP from the command line... And no, there's no log AFAIK...

Well, launching from the command line didn't seem to break my other VMs, they could boot and get their IP just fine.

That doesn't mean that they were using the same instance of VBoxNetDHCP.
