I did the following: - Navigated to the Vbx install dir and ran the command: VBoxManage createhostif "VM1adapter" - THen in the Ubuntu network properties I selected "Host interface" and the VM1adapter interface - When I clicked OK I was shown an error message talking about something being unable to communicate by RPC or some such. - Then I tried starting my Ubuntu guest and I had another error message, the text of which I have now forgotten (bigger than the first one). - After this some kind of small window with a non-moving progressbar appeared for a while until I decided to kill it with task manager. - THis brought down VirtualBox completely of course - Now when I restart VirtualBox my Ubuntu guest is no longer startable (if I select it none of the top buttons are enabled). - And I cannot open the settings anymore either to go back to the old NAT settings. :-( So basically I am now stuck with no access to the previously successfuully running Ubuntu guest. :-(((( What the heck can I do now to get it running? And why is the usermanual so strange concerning how to set up normal connectivity? I assume most people want to be able to access their guests from their hosts but that is impossible using the NAT system and setting up use of the host networking seems sooooo strange. And it crashes the system. Bo Berglund _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
