\begin_layout Title
Virtualbox mini-howto
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Virtualbox has three types of network: nat (default), a virtual network
 between vm and bridged networking.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The first and the second works out of the box so let's explain the third.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Bridged networking uses the tun/tap interface, so the first requirement
 is the tun module loaded at startup (in slackware modify rc.modules).
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
Then you have to change the rc.vboxbridge in rc.local to match the number
 of machines and the username of the virtualbox user (sh /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxbridge
 start 
\emph on
2 user
\emph default
).
\newline
The last step is

\end_inset

chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxbridge
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset

 and 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset

/etc/rc.d/rc.vboxbridge start 
\emph on
2 user
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset


\emph default
 as above and voila, bridged networking is up and running.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
A last note, for bridged networking to work you need at least a network
 interface (i.e.
 eth0) configured with an ip address.
 The rc script retrieves the eth0 ip address automatically but I haven't
 yet tested it with aliases, so if you have net aliases and bridging isn't
 working or your network configuration screws up you are on your own.
 I take no responsibility for any damage to your O.S./pc/network/wife/dog
 (so as we tell in Italy

\begin_layout Standard
Feel free to correct this text (my english is poor, I already know that),
 but, please, send me a copy so I can change it in the next release.
