Yes, there is a way to avoid it. 1. Just create a new VM with 8 vNICs and Linux + VDE running on it. Let's call it "VDE Switch VM" All other VMs will have to connect to it. NOTE: Only first 4 vNICs can be configured via GUI, the other 4 are available only via CLI. 8 vNICs total. 2. Use "Internal Network" to connect your other VMs to the VDE Switch VM. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ VBox-users-community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community
