[Solved] Connection Host-Guest without NIC on the Host

[Sasquatch]

You can show all known interfaces with ifconfig -a. Interfaces that are not 'up' are shown too. With WICD, you only configure one interface, the other one isn't brought up for configuration, but if it does have an IP address, it's strange. Maybe the interfaces file had some kind of configuration for it. Anyway, use my interfaces file example to configure both interfaces at the same time at boot up.

Nice, it works perfect! Thank you So the last question, do I need the NM or the WICD more?

[Sasquatch]

No, you actually never need one of those managers if you do it all from command line . The graphical managers are only there to make things a bit easier. My PC doesn't have one installed because it's a stationary config. My laptop has Wicd because I roam locations, switching between different wireless environments with each their own configuration (at home static, work and school DHCP, at a friends place a different static, etc).

Yeah, it sounds reasonably. Thank you. You can lock this topic or label it as solved, or whatever

[Sasquatch]

Marked it as solved. If you have another question and open a new topic, you can mark them as solved yourself if you edit the first post and change the subject.

It's good to know, thanks
