Greetings to all virtualbox users,
this is my first post here.
I'm using virtualbox-ose 1.5.2 on a Debian Lenny system.
I settep up an Ubuntu server and I would like to get it work as a
gateway between the host and a windows machine, whic I settep up as a
VM with virtualbox and connected to the internal lan.
My problem is that I can't get the host interface on the guest
recognized.
This is my situation:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~> brctl show br0
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
br0 8000.001a4b5c8ed5 no eth1
tap0
I created the tap0 interface with tunctl, then I added it to the br0
bridge, and I marked tap0 in the network setup mask, so now I have for
the ubuntu host:
Network
Adapter 0: intnet
Adapter 1: tap0
The internal interface is recognized without problems with ifconfig,
but then I can't recognize the internal interface, only the lo and
eth0 interfaces are detected.
In the manual (which is missing in the Debian package) I also noticed
that it recommends to call the host interfaces with names like vbox0,
vbox1 ... etc, could be this the issue?
Just another thing: the VBoxAddIF and VBoxDelIF commands mentioned in
the manual are missing in the Debian package, so I created the tun
interface with tunctl from the uml-utilities package.
Is it the right way to startup them (and why the VBoxAddIF and
VBoxDelIF commands are missing in Debian?)?
Many virtual thanks in advance, I'm starting just now with
virtualization and I'm very puzzled.
Best regards.
