Problem with adding nic

[Kapa]

Hello,

In gui, there are four nics, but I need more them to testing use. I think limit is eight. I use bridged connection.
So, I open cmd -> Locate Virtualbox -> VBoxManage modifyvm <vm name> --nic5 bridged <interface name>

And there is the problem, I dont know Windows network interfaces names.. In linux they are eth0, eth1, etc
But what are their names in Windows? I use Windows Server 2008 R2.

Iam trying ipconfig and there are name example Local Area Network, but no other name.

Can you anyone please help me on this :/

Local Area Network, but no other name.

That would be the good name. just enclose it with quotes.

[Kapa]

That name does not work.

Code: Select all

VBoxManage.exe: error: Invalid parameter 'Local Area Connection' 

Any other suggestions?

[noteirak]

Then use the following command to find out the name Virtualbox is using :

Code: Select all

vboxmanage list bridgedifs

[socratis]

That name does not work ... 'Local Area Connection' ... Any other suggestions?

Can you try double quotes? As in "Local Area Connection".

I believe the syntax is wrong according to the manual.
--nic<1-N> none|null|nat|bridged|intnet|hostonly|generic
--bridgeadapter<1-N> none|<devicename>
