I think here's where my confusion over your statement came from. The "HardwareAddress" value returned from "VBoxManage list bridgedifs" is, without doubt, the MAC address of the host, not the guest. Nothing in the guest could ever see it. Nevertheless, your reply sent me in the right direction, for which I give my thanks. It was the MAC address that the guest was seeing that changed. This address is in the XML file for the guest. That address was different in the exported copy of the guest, as you noted in your followup: > > <Adapter slot="0" enabled="true" MACAddress="080027943BC1" > > <Adapter slot="0" enabled="true" MACAddress="0800271626A0" > > change "0800271626A0" to "080027943BC1" and try again.

(I did state at the outset that this was probably my own incompetence.) But again, your original reply confused me because of the snippet at the top of this email was dissonant. Thanks again. Confusion aside, this did set me straight. -Alan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ VBox-users-community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community
