Hello :-) Is that normal that host interface MUST have IP assigned in order for bridged interface inside virtual machine to work? I wanted to have guest system access to a physical interface to test some server, but I don't need to have IP assigned for host OS, but it turned out that host OS needs to have IP assigned, otherwise guest interface does not work in bridge mode... What if I really dont need to use or dont have IP to assing for the host OS and I just need/can use that address for a guest OS? Is that a bug or feature? ;-) Ant hints appreciated :-) Tomek -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
