How to change the description of a host-only network

Post by The Douk »

When I create a VirtualBox Host-Only Network the descriptio/name of the adapter is: "VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter".
Consective addition of a host-only network increases the number at the end of the description (ex. VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter #2, VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter #3, etc..)

I'm trying to change that descritption/name to something more logical, especially when I have multiple host-only adapters.

Is there a way to change the description/name of the host-only to something more usefull?

Thank you.
