Discussion:
VirtualBox, Linux, ethernet question...

Hi,

I have Fedora 10 and installed the latest VirtualBox. In a virtual machine I
have Suse Linux. It doesn't managed to get an ip address through dhcp.

I know this a fedora list but maybe I could get some clues at how to
diagnose network problem on Linux (does it even see VirtualBox DHCP?)

Note: I've added the guest addition

Cheers

How is your VM network configured? Try selecting "bridge" and then
the ethernet interface the host is using.

If I understood your issue, you should not try to get an ip address
within the guest machine until the host one is configured well. I
suggest you to configure the host machine using a command like this:

VBoxManage modifyvm "Name of your Machine" --bridgeadapter1 eth0

where eth0 is the host interface you are using. You also can manage
the network configuration using the GUI shipped with the package. Let
me point you to the official user manual instructions:

Ok, here is when Linux loose me! NEver had to comand line anything on
Windows so thanks for hinting me toward the solution.

ok command line works... was still in root mode doh!

VBoxManage modifyvm "Minimum Server" --bridgeadapter1 eth0

network still doesn't work....

PS: Question like this... Why use the command line if you configure it
already in the GUI?

Command line permits you to control *every* aspect of your operating
system faster than you could searching, installing and learning to use
such buggy tools you find for Windows.

Learn to use the "man" command to understand how to use commands.

man VBoxManage

You'll discover that you must specify the virtual machine NAME. If
you called your virtual machine "Suse" or "Suse 10" or whatever, you
have to use that name.

Type "ifconfig" command to discover the name of the ethernet interface
you are using. Please look to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org), in
the Fedora wiki (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Project_Wiki)
or simply to Google for terms or concepts you don't know or
understand.

Errrr.... At the risk of being shot I'll say that there a lot of smart and
easy thing on linux compare to windows, installing virtualbox and running
and general gui config are not one of them!

Thanks also, I may not be a wizz kid but I do go on google (and I wouldn't
be there if I found the answers)... anyway all of this to realise that I did
configure everything from the GUI already (I think). I prefer GUI than
command line ;-)

So now I used host -only and I used bridge... both work, (I realised eth0
was disabled) - with vboxnet0 and eth1 respectively I can communicate back
to the host but not into the virtualbox Suse.... Any hint sir? (I've tried
ssh)

How can kvm, xen, qemu and other help me? I know fedora has a lot of open
source for virtualization but I want to use virtual box as I have the images
ready, I know it, it's easy, and I find it more user friendly (some people
says it's faster too).

Any other suggestion?

My point was that they use this stuff, and may also have come across
your problem in their working lives with Virtualbox , vmware etc..

If you're using the VM in NAT mode, then you can't reach the guest
network device (or vice versa) by default with SSH or any other type of
mode. Here is a tutorial to make the SSH working (host can access to the
guest):

Hi Peter,

I'm using it in Bridge Mode or Host-Only - neither works.

It maybe a fallback solution to try NAT and try to set it up so that I can
get into the virtualbox via TCP... I'll try tonight if I'm not getting
anywhere. thanks for your help!

All of that being said, what is the ip address of the hard nic (eth0?)
on the host machine (ifconfig eth0 on the host os), what is the ip
address of the guest machine's nic (ifconfig or ipconfig depending on
the os), can traceroute or tracert (again, depending on the os) from the
guest to the host ip and what is that route, can you resolve host names
on the guest (nslookup www.yahoo.com)?

All of that being said, what is the ip address of the hard nic (eth0?)
on the host machine (ifconfig eth0 on the host os), what is the ip
address of the guest machine's nic (ifconfig or ipconfig depending on
the os), can traceroute or tracert (again, depending on the os) from the
guest to the host ip and what is that route, can you resolve host names
on the guest (nslookup www.yahoo.com)?

Ok, here is when Linux loose me! NEver had to comand line anything on
Windows so thanks for hinting me toward the solution.
Command line permits you to control *every* aspect of your operating
system faster than you could searching, installing and learning to use
such buggy tools you find for Windows.

ok command line works... was still in root mode doh!

VBoxManage modifyvm "Minimum Server" --bridgeadapter1 eth0

network still doesn't work....

PS: Question like this... Why use the command line if you configure it
already in the GUI?

have Suse Linux. It doesn't managed to get an ip address through dhcp.
I know this a fedora list but maybe I could get some clues at how to

Note: I've added the guest addition
How is your VM network configured? Try selecting "bridge" and then
the ethernet interface the host is using.
