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 JochenReceived on Wed Oct 24 2007 - 13:36:51 UTC
