>From what I have observed, binding vbox NICs to physical interfaces (eth0, wlan0 etc.) works when the phy. NIC is actually connected to a network. For example if eth0 does not have a cable connected then the bridging does not work. This is my experience for my laptop (HOST openSUSE 11.1 and 2 guest VBOX VMs). I guess a tap interface would be needed to have network connectivity between the 2 VMs when the laptop itself does not have any network connectivity (eth0 or wlan0). > is it now bullshit? I would call it deprecated for certain scenarios like above :) -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
