Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 1.6.6-dfsg-2
Severity: important
Hi,
I am trying to connect Host Interface Network following documents on the
/usr/share/doc/virtualbox-ose/
1 ... Both README.Debian.gz and README.Debian.html have the same content
which does not require bridge-utils package and did not work.
=== Command ===
VBoxAddIF vbox0 userA br0
=== Result /etc/vbox/interface ===
vbox0 userA br0
=== Modify /etc/network/interface ===
iface vbox0 inet static
address 192.168.3.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
virtualbox-user userA
- - - -
2 ... wiki.html is basically a copy of
http://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBoxwhich requires bridge-utils package
and also did not work.
=== Command ===
aptitude install bridge-utils
=== Modify /etc/network/interface ===
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# An entry for eth0 is no longer needed
#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
# Create the bridge (with the regular IP address of the host)
auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eth0
bridge_fd 2.5
=== Command ===
/etc/init.d/networking restart
=== Command ===
VBoxAddIF vbox0 userA br0
=== Result /etc/vbox/interface ===
vbox0 userA br0
=== Command ===
/etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose restart
- - - -
And i did change the setting of virtualbox attached to = Host Interface and
Interface Name = vbox0 in both cases.
Is this a documenation bug or software bug ?
Thanks.
