OK, I feel so stupid right now. First off, you're absolutely right. I verified that in the VirtualBox manual, to be sure. The problem was, I had commented out the redirects to /dev/null when the script first failed for diagnostic purposes, which showed me that /var/run/VirtualBox/ didn't exist. I just forgot to uncomment them afterwards. *ARGH* So now it works as intended, tested with WinXP and Ubuntu running in parallel (now that shows me why I should upgrade from 2 to 4GB RAM). > > Setup application: /usr/local/bin/addif.sh vbox1 up > > terminate application: /usr/local/bin/addif.sh vbox1 down > > Regards, > Norberto Thanks, -- Marc Joliet -- "People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don't" - Bjarne Stroustrup signature.asc Description: PGP signature

In the howto there's called /sbin/ip, but I have no idea in which package

What I need is the bidirectional communication between host and guest.
When you say tutorial, do you mean
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO:_VirtualBox ? That's what Norberto seems
to have used.
You should definitely look into dnsmasq as well. It allows all my
boxes to see all other boxes (including VirtualBoxes). (I added a
little script that updates /etc/hosts on my server.)
Or my be another question :-) I need to run more then one guest OS, so I expect
I need to create next bridge, but how?
I've try something like this (/etc/conf.d/net):
config_eth0=( "null" )
tuntap_vbox0="tap"
tuntap_vbox1="tap"
config_vbox0=( "null")
config_vbox1=( "null")
config_br0=( "dhcp" )
config_br1=( "dhcp" )

need net.vbox0
}
depend_br1()
{
need net.eth0
need net.vbox1
}
brctl_br0=( "setfd 0")
brctl_br1=( "setfd 0")
And create corresponding links in the /etc/init.d directory.
ln -s ./net.lo ./net.vbox1
ln -s ./net.lo ./net.br1
And trying to start net.br1 giving me this error:
device eth0 is already a member of a bridge; can't enslave it to bridge
Again I'm wrong. How to enable more then one bridge? I want all guests to see
each other and see the host too and host has to see all guests.
Thanks

Well, turns out your email got me going ;-) .
Right now I got it working without using a bridge. I can ping my
Windows XP VM and it can ping everything else on my side, however,
nmap won't work. I wonder why? Does the Windows firewall block it off?
Otherwise, everything works to my liking.

I would do that (create a bridge without any IFs attached and
then have them added dynamically), except the VBoxAddIF script in
virtualbox-ose-2.0.2 craps out on a missing file
(/var/run/VirtualBox/vboxnet). Google didn't yield anything useful.

When looking at the relevent line (237), apparently it's because the
directory doesn't exist so it can't create the file. What does it look
like on your system? Shouldn't the ebuild have created that directory?

Re: [gentoo-user] virtualbox networking
Hello! This is the script I use to start my VirtualBox: #if you previously loaded the driver, you don't need #the following line. modprobe vboxdrv tunctl -t tap1 -u root brctl addbr br0 ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc brctl addif br0 eth0 dhcpcd br0 brctl addif br0 tap1 ifconfig tap1 up Then as a normal user (which is in the vboxusers group) I simply start and configure my VirtualBox to use 'tap1'. $VirtualBox Hope this helps. Regards. Richard.

The default uses NAT so that you're not visible from the little network that VirtualBox sets up for you. Hence, if you need *bi*directional access you must use "Host Interface" and to get that working you need the bridge stuff.

However, what I *can't* do is ssh into the virtual machine from any computer, including the host machine, on my network. Then again, there may be some sly way to do this that I am not aware of. ;-) I currently run Ubuntu, Windows XP, and Windows Vista in virtual machines.
