If my calculations are correct, and you named the VM according to what it is, MacOS Server 5.2 is in fact OSX 10.12, not 10.11. Please fix that.00:00:01.939503 Guest OS type: 'MacOS1011_64' 00:00:01.989076 File system of '/Volumes/SDXC/El Capitan VM/MacOS Server 5.2/Macintosh HD.vdi' is unknown
I'm sorry, I misread the first time what you said, and I asked about the "ifconfig" output from your host. Can you post the output of "ifconfig -a" from the guest? Does that mean that you don't have a network interface in your System Preferences » Network? Because I do see one in the VM configuration:oneofthedamons wrote:the guest has no networking interfaces aside from lo0, gif0 and stf0. VirtualBox is configured for the guest to have one NAT interface and it is showing:

Nup, it's Server 5.2 running on OS X 10.11. But given Apple's sub-optimal support of Server in recent years, your confusion is understandablesocratis wrote:If my calculations are correct, and you named the VM according to what it is, MacOS Server 5.2 is in fact OSX 10.12, not 10.11.

Yep, sorry about that. I changed the virtual NIC type from NAT to bridge at some stage to see if that helped (it didn't).socratis wrote:... which is connected via Bridged-over-en1, and not NAT as you said.
Yes en1 is the WiFi ("AirPort") interface. On the host:fth0 wrote:I've noticed that SharedMacOnWire is set, which is typically used on wireless network interfaces. Is en1 a wireless network interface?

===================Interesting! I had this manually set — and I have absolutely no recollection why! It was possibly a connectivity troubleshooting setting (I've been — and remain — behind some truly shitty internet connections, generally double-NATed and previously as slow as a 8000/384 Kbps up/down ADSL connection, although thankfully this has improved to a better although still sub-par fixed wireless connection).fth0 wrote:Additionally, en1 has a MTU of 1491. I've never seen this odd value before ... it could be something like a trailer mode that VirtualBox possibly cannot handle.
I tend to agree with you here. I was just irritated by the MTU value of 1491 and my train of thought was that maybe the host interface has some special properties the VirtualBox code would not expect and therefore fail to offer the guest interface to the guest, especially in bridged mode, where the netfilter driver needs an active host interface. And the other aspect was the combination of bridged mode with a wireless interface.socratis wrote:I don't think that this has anything to do with the host's settings/mappings/MTUs/bindings or anything like that. This should work right out of the box, unless there's been some unusual setup configuration in the guest. It doesn't matter if the network adapter is set to NotAttached, NAT, NATnetwork, Bridged, Internal, or HostOnly (haven't tried the Generic); the guest should always have a en0 adapter, if there's one in the VM configuration, no matter what. If it doesn't, something is screwed up in the guest, not in VirtualBox.
