But, on closer inspection running ifconfig in the Guest reveals only one working NIC configured with an IP address for the User Mode Network while running ifconfig on the Host reveals that only the Host Only network is running and available. So, of course, Host and Guest cannot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
