Seamless MS Windows on Hardy with VirtualBox and Beryl

[riger99]

Please can anyone help? Everything was okay until I got to:

sudo gedit /etc/rc.local

and included the following:

tunctl -t tap0 -u riger
 chmod 0666 /dev/net/tun
 /usr/sbin/brctl addbr br0
 /sbin/ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc
 /usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 eth1
 /sbin/dhclient br0
 /usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 tap0
 ifconfig tap0 172.18.2.200 up
 bash -c 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/tap0/proxy_arp'
 route add -host 172.18.2.107 dev tap0
 arp -Ds 172.18.2.107 eth1 pub

My eth1 card connects me and is the working (wired) card. As soon as I make the changes and reboot, then I cannot connect anywhere. If I use ifconfig, I can see the settings are correct - but I just can't get web (or any) network access.

Anyone have any ideas on this - Please?

Hi,
I have done step 2 completely and when I want to start my xp for the first time it gives an error:


Failed to open '/dev/net/tun' for read/write access. Please check the permissions of that node. Either run 'chmod 0666 /dev/net/tun' or change the group of that node and make yourself a member of that group. Make sure that these changes are permanent, especially if you are using udev.
VBox status code: -3100 (VERR_HOSTIF_INIT_FAILED).

Component:

Interface:
IConsole {e3c6d4a1-a935-47ca-b16d-f9e9c496e53e}


after I change the chmod, I try to start it again then I get this:

Failed to initialize Host Interface Networking.
VBox status code: -3100 (VERR_HOSTIF_INIT_FAILED).

NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)

I'm using the latest version of KUbuntu and the latest version of virtualbox

Like I said before every thing went perfect untill the 3th step the only thing I didn't could find was at step 1b "# Now, select Remote Display and check Enable VRDP Server." so I just skipped that...

This is my rc.local file:

tnctl -t tap0 -u fre
chmod 0666 /dev/net/tun
/user/sbin/brctl addbr br0
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc
/user/sbin/brctl addif br0 eth0
/sbin/dhclient br0
/usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 tap0
ifconfig tap0 192.168.1.150 up
bash -c 'echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/tap0/proxy_arp'
route add -host 192.168.1.102 dev tap0
arp -Ds 192.168.1.102 eth0 pub

exit 0

some one know what I did wrong?

edit: Ow, yes I'm installing it not on the root user...

you sorted it out ?

[dr_serious]

No could it be becous I'm not a root user?

[dr_serious]

I made me admin, still getting this error:

Failed to initialize Host Interface Networking.
VBox status code: -3100 (VERR_HOSTIF_INIT_FAILED).

some one know what I can do?

edit:Mybe this helps for an solution, it does start if I set attatched to NAT and not Host Interface

Ok, maybe I'm missing something, but I'm getting errors about something not being installed in the kernel. Any ideas?

[smo0th]

I did step 2 and have internet access on ubuntu and xp, the problem is that my web server is being blocked somehow, any ideas?

The web server is working in the 192.168.x.x network and the service is unblocked in the router.
