Description

After installing

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 78155180 2009-07-10 17:35 VirtualBox-3.0.2-49928-SunOS.tar.gz

I get

vboxnet0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 3

inet 192.168.56.1 netmask ff000000 broadcast 192.255.255.255 ether 0:8:27:3c:7e:44

Look at the netmask. That covers a good deal of the "real net". That should be ffff0000.

Here is the story for people googling: This causes named to be unresponsive fail not answer. This is because the root dns it seems to prefer is within the public 192.x.x.x range, but those requests go to vboxnet0 now.

Thanks for the report. In fact it should be ffffff00 (broadcast 192.168.56.*). This has been fixed in internal SVN and will be part of the next release.
