virtualbox.org

Hello,

I installed the new VirtualBox version 2.1. Now I read in the manual, that the Host Interface Networking has been changed:

Host Interface Networking works has been completely rewritten with VirtualBox 2.0 and 2.1, depending on the host operating system. From the user perspective, the main difference is that complex configuration is no longer necessary on any of the supported host operating systems. (6.5, Page 81)

But I cant geht the Networking to work. I changed the settings with this command:

Code: Select all

VBoxManage modifyvm "TEST" -nic1 hostif -hostifdev1 eth0

When i want to start the VM there is following Problem:

Code: Select all

pxesles10:/home/vbox/.VirtualBox/VDI # VBoxVRDP -s TEST &
[1] 10489
pxesles10:/home/vbox/.VirtualBox/VDI # VirtualBox Headless Interface 2.1.0

Error: failed to start machine. Error message: Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-eth0' (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).

Here the configuration from the VM:

Can somebody help me?

On my openSUSE 11 laptop I had to update the kernel by running

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

to get host interface networking to run without the error.

Thank you, that was the sulution

Yes. Same here. That resolved the issue I was having on OpenSuSE 11.

Thanks!

That might be a Bug on suse Linux. Does somebody got the new Host Interface to work?

I cant can send an ARR Request and the host replyes with the right reply. But this does not arrives the VM...

Someone else with this Problem?

I'm on Fedora 10 x86_64 and also had to run the same /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup command to get this to work. I might note that my Fedora 9 i386 box did not require this step in order for Host Interface networking to work properly with out this error.

I am using Suse 10 SP2 and while Nat networking works without a glitch, Host networking fails to work. No error, simply the packets don't go anywhere. Is there a workaround? I already did the prescribed method and it does nothuing (etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup)

Is your network properly configured on the Guest? Does the Host still have connection when the VM is running?

How does the new Host Interface Networking work?
