losing network connection

Post by cichlasoma »

hi. I installed Debian in Virtualbox 3.0.10, everything went all right including network connection. Then I restored the machine just by creating another one and using the Debian's vdi for it. It boots and everything works except of network connection.
It's the same on the same computer where I created the vdi and on another. Guest additionts are installed. Don't you know how to restore connection?

That's a Linux "feature". When you moved it you have a different MAC address so it sets up eth1.
edit the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules or you can delete the rules and Linux will configure it on the next boot
