By default everything is disabled. It has to be enabled specifically using ./configure --enable-udptunnel
If you don't pass this option, there is nothing to see : there won't be a selection with "UDP tunnel" anywhere. VBoxManage won't show it either. There is only 1 field and 1 method call in the API that remain visible if udptunnel is not enabled. It's the same as VDE is done now. -- Christophe On Wed, May 11, 2011 at 5:03 PM, Perry Halbert <[email protected]> wrote: > OK, but you still are not considering the regular end user that does not > compile their copy of VirtualBox. > As you say I can select to not have host-only but where is the ability to > not have UDP?
