No Network using Headless on Vista

Hi Guys,

Firstly thanks for creating virtualbox.
I have been playing with it over the last 6 months on windows & headless linux hosts with pretty much every guest OS you can name

I currently have an issue running VBoxHeadless under vista.
If I setup and run a debian guest using the normal VBox software using Nat, networking works fine.
If I then run the guest using VBoxHeadless I loose network.

Version 2.0.4
Host Vista 32bit
Guest Debian 2.6.26

I've setup Nat under the VBox windows GUI.
I've tried running : VBoxManage modifyvm "Debian" -nic1 nat

Am I missing something?

Update :

It worked this way for a while.
Networking under VirtualBox gui worked fine, but not under Headless.

Now it's not working anywhere!

(Guest additions are installed)

Well I don't know why it stopped working in virtualbox gui, but it's back now.

Still no network under VBoxHeadless.
