Why did Sun get rid of host networking?

Hi,

I was running Virtualbox 2.1 and I used to capture and test Windows Deployment Service PXE Images. To do this, I would attach the Network Adapter to the HOST. This seems to have been changed since 2.2.

Now, if I select Bridge Mode, it says "No Adapter Selected", but when expanding on the Screwdriver the drop down menu does not allow me to set my NIC.

I never had this problem with the old method of binding NICS to a VM, any ideas?

Thanks.

Re-install and select the repair function. Also you should run this as admin.

Hi,

No luck - also since the upgrade to 2.2 I've got:

"Could not load the host USB proxy service". Repair does not fix either of these problems.

Edit: It does when you restart - nice fix .

So I take it that after you rebooted it is now working?
