No, I actually intended to use the NAT options of VirtualBox, which offers DHCP functionality to the host system.(has worked so far) > Apart from that, does VirtualBox work for you?

Yepp, discovered the same problem with 6.2 and 6-stable. However I didn't run into these problems with 6.1. I've got to admit that I didn't do that much testing with 6.1. (buildworld worked a couple of times) The actual intention of the current installation is to see if this still occures with VBox 1.5.2 and the 7.0 Beta Cheers Jochenhome | help
