First, I've searched google hi+low, and this is still eluding me =85 I've got a FreeBSD 8-STABLE box that is up to date as of yesterday =85 = VirtualBox installed great, I got through the docs on how to create a = Headless VM, it boots, FreeBSD 8 ISO installed on it, everything works = great "stand alone" =85 but I can't get the network to work. Host Machine, ethernet looks like: ganymede# ifconfig -a ale0: flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu = 1500 = options=3Dc319a<TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_MCAST,= WOL_MAGIC,VLAN_HWTSO,LINKSTATE> ether 00:22:15:f1:bc:c5 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 media: Ethernet 100baseTX <full-duplex> status: active pflog0: flags=3D0<> metric 0 mtu 33200 lo0: flags=3D8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 16384 options=3D3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM> inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000=20 vboxnet0: flags=3D8902<BROADCAST,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu = 1500 ether 0a:00:27:00:00:00 ganymede#=20 showvminfo for the VM shows NIC 1 as : NIC 1: MAC: 080027F9E7B2, Attachment: Bridged Interface = 'vboxnet0', Cable connected: on, Trace: off (file: none), Type: 82540EM, = Reported speed: 0 Mbps, Boot priority: 0 A cut-n-paste of ifconfig in the VPS is attached below... Yes, I can't ping anywhere =85 I tried to set the bridged device to the ale0 device, which allows me to = ping everywhere *except* the host server =85 so I'm missing a step here = =85=20 I've read through http://wiki.freebsd.org/VirtualBox several times =85=20= The steps i used to create the remote headless were found: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch07.html So I figure either I'm bridging to the wrong device. or I missing a = configuration step on the Host side of things =85 but I can't seem to = find anywhere where someone has asked that and gotten an answer and/or = that it is documented =85 everything seems to point to using the GUI, = which, in this environment, I don' t have access to =85 So far, though, getting VirtualBox up and running has been fantastic ...=
