<html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><div>I'm working with VirtualBox via the Python API and I've got big problems with the network configuration (see my other posts!). When I create the host-only devices I attach a VBOX DHCP server to them via the API. It all works fine. However, when I then reboot the system, the vboxnetX interfaces are gone, meaning I cannot see them anymore under "ifconfig or ifconfig -a". They are gone. <br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Then, they only appear
again when I do a "VBoxManage list hostonlyifs" and then I can also see them under "ifconfig" again. Their configuration is still correct.<br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">Why do they not appear automatically? I cannot boot my VM because it says network device does not exist.<br></div></div></body></html>
