I also installed VirtualBox, however when the Gentoo wiki suggested I |
| 22 |
edit a bunch of files in /etc/ I decided to go with the VirtualBox |
| 23 |
default configuration files; lo-and-behold, it works, Batman! |

I currently have all my virtual machines configured to use the |
| 32 |
PCnet-FAST III (Am79C973) virtual network adapter. This was because the |
| 33 |
Intel PRO/1000 virtual network card often mentioned in the Gentoo wiki |
| 34 |
isn't available for some reason. I have the virtual adapter attached to |
| 35 |
NAT and I can mount host machines NFS/Samba shares from inside the |
| 36 |
virtual machine. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
What kind of bidirectional communication are you looking for? I'm sure |
| 39 |
that if you setup a virtual network adapter that the guest OS recognizes |
| 40 |
you can SSH from the virtual machine into the host machine, or perhaps |
| 41 |
this is not what you had in mind. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I just tested SSH on my Ubuntu virtual machine, and I can SSH into |
| 44 |
the host machine and other machines on my home network. However, |
| 45 |
what I *can't* do is ssh into the virtual machine from any computer, |
| 46 |
including the host machine, on my network. Then again, there may be |
| 47 |
some sly way to do this that I am not aware of. ;-) |

I currently run Ubuntu, Windows XP, and Windows Vista in virtual |
| 51 |
machines. Before the Linux>Windows flame war starts; what is the guest |
| 52 |
OS you are trying to configure client -> host networking with? If it is |
| 53 |
a freely available, non-commercial OS, perhaps I can install it for you |
| 54 |
in my VirtualBox installation and test the functionality you're |
| 55 |
interested in. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
If you would like any direct help regarding VirtualBox, don't hesitate |
| 58 |
to send me an email directly. |
