Hey,

Im very new in virtualbox, i spend a few hours, solved a lot of issues, but one thing i cant :


On my host (Win7) there is a mediawiki running on apache.
I run a mwlib render server under Ubuntu 10.04 in Virtualbox.

They can can connect bidirectional when i set "Host only adapter".
The rendering is beatiful on ubuntu console, but when i try it direct in mediawiki there come an error :
"<ur lopen error [Errno 67] request timed out>".


When i add a second adapter, this time "nat", the rendering in console works again.
In mediawiki direct there is:
"HTT P Error 407: Proxy Authorization Required in function system".

So i tried to set htt p_proxy and added Aquire::htt :.... in /etc/apt/apt.conf - it changed nothing.
Oh, sorry, it does: rendering in console doenst work anymore


I think i dont need any proxy between host and guest.


So here my questions:

1. Why says NAT "Proxy Authorization Required? i dont want in internet
2. Do i need NAT or should Host only be enough?
3. In this "package" there is a webserver (nslave) - if i have only 1 adapter, this hast to be NAT, in other case i cant start him - error : network unreachable. So i started it, changed the adapter - this isnst the best solution, is it ^^? With both adapter i can start him.


Sry for the questions, like i said, im very new in such "virtual network things".

Would be verys appreciated if someone could help me out here,


Regards

The purpose of NAT is to share the host's external network access. If you don't need that then yes, you could perhaps use host-only instead.

ok thank u.

Do u have an idea, why the guest can connect the host with
"mw-zip -c htt p://HOST_NAME/mediawiki -o test21.zip "ArticleName"

and browse the wiki with firefox on guest system


but when i execure this from wiki directly it fails ?
