Ehm... I tried to swap the internal adapter and the host interface adapter, now the situation is this... eth0 is correctly detected and corresponds to the host network interface, so I can happily ping the host machine connected to it... the problem is that now there isn't the interface for the internal network. I can see in the window popping up when the cursor floats over the network icon in the host window: Adapter 0 (Host Interface): cable connected Adapter 1 (Internal Network): cable connected The problem seems that I can only set up *one* interface at startup, when I need *two* network interfaces... or maybe am I missing something? At this point I have no clues...
