I have an Ubuntu 910 guest that is set up as a web server. I initially made the guest machine on a Mac and I want to migrate it to a headless Ubuntu 910 host. I copied the .vdi image to the Ubuntu Host and then made a new guest machine with the same memory etc as the guest on the Mac. I then attached the .vdi file to the new guest machine and it boots and runs OK on the Ubuntu Host but I cannot get the network to connect.
Using the following command, I set up the networking.
But when I try to configure the networking on the ubuntu guest, I get the messageVBoxManage modifyvm "WebServer" --nic1 bridged --bridgeadapter1 eth0
when I list the guest network settings I getSIOCSIFADDR : No such device eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: no such device
I would greatly appreciate any insight into why this is not working and what I can do to fix it.VBoxManage showvminfo "WebServer"
