Hi, I've posted a couple topics on the community forum, but I thought I'd ask on the list in one email... I hope this is ok.
I have Ubuntu 8.0.4 64 bit installed on an Intel E5430 quad-core. I installed the appropriate vbox 2.0.2 64 bit as host, and then proceeded to install the same OS as guest. I created host interfaces with static IPs. As far as I can tell the networking is working fine. I created bridge interfaces on the host, and attached a vbox interface via the VBoxAddIF command. The guest can get out to the net, the networking seems to be fine. But I don't think I've done it quite right. Here are my questions/issues: 1. The guest installed fine, the installation process picked the SMP kernel, however the vm only reports a single processor. Does the guest VM not support smp? 2. I tried installing the guest additions, but after mounting the iso image (via the Devices menu), I don't see /dev/cdrom or /media/cdrom mounted. I'm not able to get to the install script. 3. I'm a little confused about host <-> guest networking. Basically what I want to do is to assign static IPs to the guests, using HIF networking. I create a bridge, I tie a vbox interface to the bridge, and I assume the bridge has to have a static IP. So my question is, if I want the guest to have IP 192.168.1.201, and the host to map any services for that IP to the guest, how would I set that up? In the guest itself I'd assign 192.168.1.201 for eth0, and what would the bridge IP have to be? If I assign 192.168.1.201 to the bridge, then I can't ping from host -> guest or vice-versa. Thanks for any help. Ricardo _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
