Grpahic mode low quality

[tech330]

Hi,

I'm newbie using oracle virtual box, I recently installed Oracle virtual box on windows machine, and then installed rhel 6 as a guest operating system.
Question: When I try changing the ip address of the guest operating system using "system-config-network &" it open gui interface with the help of which we can do it, but in this case GUI is in low graphic mode where I don't see all the options. I have used this GUI interface in the past to change the IP address on vmware software by accessing the console.
Is there any way we can enhance the graphic display of Virtual box, like installing a plugin or extension and is there any way I can get similar console screen as vmware on virtual box..


Thanks for you're help.

Install the guest additions ( in the guest ). If the guest was previously used in vmware make sure that the previous additions are removed first.

Thanks for the reply,

The VMware is installed on a different physical machine and virtual box is installed on a different physical machine.

Alright, but does this mean that the VirtualBox guest additions are installed on the guest?

No, The virtual box software is installed on host that is windows 7, and then I have installed RHEL 6 as a guest operating system using the virtual box.

Thanks
