2.1.0: VBoxManage.exe createhostif <name> fails

[wausl]

Hi all,

just upgraded from 2.0.6 to 2.1.0 on WinXP Host.
As mentioned in other threads, the Host Interfaces were gone.

Unfortunately, the re-creation fails:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\Sun\xVM VirtualBox>VBoxManage.exe createhostif evo00a
VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 2.1.0

I tried re-installing, rebooting - same message.
Any ideas?

Thanks, Klaus

That command is now obsolete. We forgot to remove it. The entire host interface networking has been changed. See the manual.

My issue:

My host laptop gets an IP from DHCP 10.2.144.135 and the VM has a fixed IP 192.168.0.1. I do not want the network to see the VM.

I was able to give the virtual network adapter IP 192.168.0.2 and connect to the VM without problem. With 2.1.0 the virtual network adapter is gone, so how do I connect to the VM now ?

Thanks, Timo
