ip route add: Cannot find device "eth0"

[automatix1311]

Hello!

I'm using three VMs:

192.168.56.101 Dev VM Debian 6 + Gnome Adapter 1 Nat Adapter 2 Host-only
192.168.56.102 Sandbox VM Debian 6 Adapter 1 Nat Adapter 2 Host-only
192.168.56.103 Example VM Debian 6 + Gnome Adapter 1 Nat Adapter 2 Host-only

For the Dev and Example the routing is working fine and their routing tables seem to be configured correctly:

root@devmv:/var/log/nginx# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.0.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0
192.168.56.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth1
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth1
0.0.0.0 10.0.2.2 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
root@devmv:/var/log/nginx#

root@examplevm:~# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.0.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0
192.168.56.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth1
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth1
0.0.0.0 10.0.2.2 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
root@examplevm:~#

The Sandbox cannot be reached from Host (browser, SSH etc.) and has no access to the internet. It's routing table is empty:

root@sandboxvm:~# route -n
root@sandboxvm:~#

For the Dev and the Example I had configured the routing over the GUI (a quick HowTo is here). The Sandbox has no GUI and now I'm trying to set the configs via command line:

Code: Select all

# ip route add 10.0.2.0/24 via 0.0.0.0 dev eth0
Cannot find device "eth0"
#

Can somebody help me please to fill my routing table? Thank you!

Configuring the guest OS like routing table is out of scope of this forum and should be redirected to appropriate support forums.
