Title: Icaros in VirtualBox networking
Post by: motorollin on February 27, 2010, 01:33:59 PM

I've just downloaded Icaros Desktop VE 1.2 and imported the appliance into VirtualBox. It boots fine, but I can't get networking to work. I've set the virtual NIC to the PCNet II and configured it to bridge to my Airport card. In AROS, the VM picks up a 192.168.0.x IP address with a 192.168.2.x gateway and DNS address, but I can't ping either of these addresses, or my router, or anything on the Internet. I've also tried setting the virtual NIC to NAT with the same effect. Any ideas?

Don't you think there's something wrong here? ;-)

Either your gateway setting or your IP address is wrong.

I did think it was strange that the IP and gateway addresses were in different ranges, but presumably these are the addresses allocated by VirtualBox's DHCP server. I don't understand why it would allocate addresses which don't work, but I'll try changing them when I get home.

At least you got it to boot for you :-P  What is your host system configuration?

Actually I had a lot of problems getting it to boot when I tried to configure a VM manually and install from the ISO. When I downloaded the VMWare version and imported it into VirtualBox it booted first time.

Here's the VirtualBox config file:

Ok, sorted and posting this from Icaros in VirtualBox :) I tried various combinations of 192.168.0.x and 192.168.2.x but nothing worked. In the end I installed XP in a new VirtualBox machine and this picked up IP and gateway settings in the 10.0.2.x range. I manually configured Icaros with the same settings and it worked. I have no idea why Icaros obtained different network settings to XP. Is there any issue with DHCP in AROS?
