Seting network adaptor to Host Interface eth1:0

Post by jerry1091 »

Hi, Everyone.

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this post, but I have looked all over and I don't see this addressed anywhere. If I have overlooked it, please point me in the right directions.

Here is my setup.
Mandriva 2009 Host
Two Network adaptores ( eth0 and eth1 )
eth1 has 3 virtual interfaces
eth1:0, eth1:1 and eth1:2
Here is my ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:81:40:49:E6
inet addr:192.168.10.200 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
Interrupt:25

My VirtualBox machines nic config is:
NIC 1: MAC: 08002759A4E4, Attachment: Host Interface 'eth1:0', Cable connected: on, Trace: off (file: none), Type: 82543GC, Reported speed: 0 Mbps

This worked fine when it was:
NIC 1: MAC: 08002759A4E4, Attachment: Host Interface 'eth1', Cable connected: on, Trace: off (file: none), Type: 82543GC, Reported speed: 0 Mbps

But when I changed the nic config from eth1 to eth1:0 I get the following error during vm startup:

Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-eth1:0' (VERR_INTNET_FLT_IF_NOT_FOUND).
Failed to attach the network LUN (VERR_INTNET_FLT_IF_NOT_FOUND).
Unknown error creating VM (VERR_INTNET_FLT_IF_NOT_FOUND).


Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {e3c6d4a1-a935-47ca-b16d-f9e9c496e53e}


Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, i have Fedora Core 10, and my network setting is pretty similar to yours and i also get this same error.

I think i just got it, don't create any virtual interfaces, just select eth1 and use that, seems to work with me. We are just trying to do this too hard :D
