Problems with Virtualbox

peque · 2008-09-18 09:24:55

Hey Guys.

I'm runned into a problem with my Virtualbox installation about the network setup.
Followed the guide http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox#Usin

But each time I'm starting my Virtualbox - I'm getting the this error:

Failed to initialize Host Interface Networking.
VBox status code: -3100 (VERR_HOSTIF_INIT_FAILED).


Result Code: 
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: 
Console
Interface: 
IConsole {d5a1cbda-f5d7-4824-9afe-d640c94c7dcf}

How can I make bridged network to work here - and can someone tell me the error:

/etc/conf.d/bridges:

bridge_br0="eth0 wlan0"
BRIDGE_INTERFACES=(br0)

Lines from rc.conf:

MODULES=(sky2 iwl4965 snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel soundcore vboxdrv autofs4 bridge)
##########################
eth0="dhcp"
wlan0="dhcp"
br0="dhcp"
ppp0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0 wlan0 br0 ppp0)

/etc/vbox/interfaces ( needed to make that file manually)

vbox0 pbj br0

I've installed bridge-utils and the obnly error i'm getting is this - each time I set the network settings in the virtualbox guest machine settings to host interface???
What Am I doing wrong. - since I only have these options from the menu
Not connected.
NAT
Host INterface
Internal Interface

From my dmesg:

vboxdrv: Trying to deactivate the NMI watchdog permanently...
vboxdrv: Successfully done.
vboxdrv: Found 2 processor cores.
vboxdrv: fAsync=0 offMin=0x18f offMax=0x979

Can someone point me in the rigth direction???

Well a little bit further I guess.
put tun into MODULES

Made this scripts as from alehtos

sudo brctl addbr br0
sudo ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc
sudo brctl addif br0 eth0
sudo dhclient br0
sudo chmod 0666 /dev/net/tun
sudo tunctl -t tap0 -u *username*
sudo ifconfig tap0 up
sudo brctl addif br0 tap0

And gives me this:

$ ifconfig

And this works as the following way - Gives the Host machine a IP adress - but not the guest. On the guest - it cannot get an IP address.

Could this error hove something to do with it all:

s# /etc/rc.d/vboxnet restart
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Ingen sådan fil eller filkatalog
