[OpenIndiana-discuss] Vbox and nwam -no vboxnet0 ?

[Tony Brian Albers]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to get VirtualBox to work properly.

In the main window, when I select Tools -> Network, I can see a network 
called vboxnet0
The configuration says:
Adapter:
	IPv4 Address: 192.168.56.1
	IPv4 Network Mask: 255.255.255.0

DHCP Server:
	Server Address: 192.168.56.100
	Server Mask: 255.255.255.0
	Lower Address Bound: 192.168.56.101
	Upper Address Bound: 192.168.56.254

It seems to be working, I can use it in a VM, it's connected to Adapter 
2 and I can get a DHCP address and ping the DHCP server 192.168.56.100.

But I can't connect to the host on 192.168.56.1, and on the host I 
haven't got an interface that matches that network:

  root at emu:~# ipadm show-if
IFNAME     STATE    CURRENT      PERSISTENT
lo0        ok       -m-v------46 ---
rge0       ok       bm--------4- ---
tun0       ok       -mp-------4- ---
root at emu:~#

root at emu:~# nwamadm list -x

ncu:ip      rge0           online         interface/link is up
loc         Automatic      offline        conditions for activation are 
unmet
loc         Home           online         active
loc         NoNet          offline        conditions for activation are 
unmet
loc         User           disabled       disabled by administrator
root at emu:~#

According to the documentation, it should be possible to connect from 
the host to the VM on it's Host-only network address. But vboxnet0 
doesn't seem to exist on the host.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

/tony
