Host: Fedora 16
VirtualBox: 4.1.12_OSE r77218
Guests: 4 * FreeBSD + 1 * Windoze XP
Objective: I am trying to set up Host-only networking, so that I can ssh
from my host into my virtual machines.
When I try to add a 4th network interface to a VM and specify it as
Host-only, vboxnet0 does not appear in the list of possible network
names (the list box just contains "Not selected"). My reading suggests
I need to add a host-only network, and I've found two ways to do this,
but both fail in my current environment:
1. File -> Preferences -> Network -> Plus button to add a new host-only
network.
This results in the following dialog message:
Failed to create the host-only network interface.
Argument *aHostNetworkInterface is NULL.
Result Code: NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057)
Component: Host
Interface: IHost {dab4a2b8-c735-4f08-94fc-9bec84182e2f}
2. From shell, run "vboxmanage hostonlyif create"
This results in a seg fault with the following message:
VBoxManage: error: Argument *aHostNetworkInterface is NULL
VBoxManage: error: Details: code NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057),
component Host, interface IHost, callee nsISupports
Context: "CreateHostOnlyNetworkInterface (hif.asOutParam(),
progress.asOutParam())" at line 64 of file VBoxManageHostonly.cpp
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Running "ifconfig -a" on the host does not list vboxnet0.
NAT networking runs OK on the guests - I can sucessfully ssh out to an
off-site server. I also have three BSD hosts in a ring of 3 internal
network links. But I can't get host-only networking running.
Can anyone suggest what I'm doing wrong, or ideas of things I should check?
Thanks,
Tim
