I After running this command can not be executed GuestOS.
I want to set the IP(by dhcp) address to the network No. 4.

"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" controlvm hostname poweroff
"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" modifyvm hostname --nic4 bridged --bridgeadapter4 eth2 --nicpromisc4 allow-all
"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" startvm hostname


(you to read as the hostname to VirtualBOX Guest machine name)

After running the startvm, are the following display
Display of Japanese dialog

english language
Since missing the following physical network interface, you can not start a virtual machine hostname:

I do not have a of EnglishVersion VirtualBOX
English messages do not know exactly

Only network No. 4 settings can be, but does not start the machine.

But I can run on GUI.

Is it possible start I have to change the network settings in this command ?

Guest OS Version

It seems to me that you are trying to bridge to a host NIC named "eth2", however that is the NIC device naming convention used on Linux hosts.

However, you have posted in "Windows Hosts", plus your command line clearly shows the command prompt of a Windows Host.

So we appear to have a contradiction here. If you stated the problem accurately then the error message seems correct to me.

Thank you for your reply.
It had given a false recognition. :)
eth2 it is decided, for example.
Work with other names are the same.
This problem has occurred in the Windows 7.

Dialog is displayed after you run this command.
"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" startvm hostname

Will you not be able to perform the same operation on the command and click on the "Change Network Settings" button ?
