host-only adapter stays down
Posted: 31. May 2018, 20:10
On a new Linux host, (kernel 4-16.13) running VirtualBox-5.2.12, the host-only virtual network adapter is not working. (On an older Linux box, with same version of VirtualBox it works without issue.) All of the following is on the Linux host, not any guest:
I have set an ip and netmask in VirtualBox's Host Netwrok Manager using "Configure Adapter Manually" Then "ip addr" shows:
Which is correct.
I can run "ip link set dev vboxnet0 up" and not receive any error, but "ip addr" still shows the link as being DOWN, see above.
In /var/log/messages, sometimes (but not consistently) I receive the following message:
But in the Host Network Manager I left the IPv6 Address blank and the IPv6 Prefix Length is 0
Any ideas on getting host-only networking working ?
