Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-ce0 - Cassini Gigabit Ethernet'

[Theodore Moran]

Hardware is a Sun v20z with Quad Ethernet card, X4444A

Can use host interface on internal Broadcom bge(0-1) but cannot boot if using host interface on ce(0-3) of the X4444A. Will boot if set to NAT.

Everything is standard Sun, no third party. Enclosed is information from system.

When starting the VM the following message appears:

Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-ce0 - Cassini Gigabit Ethernet' (VERR_INTNET_FLT_IF_FAILED).

Unknown error creating VM (VERR_INTNET_FLT_IF_FAILED).

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {e3c6d4a1-a935-47ca-b16d-f9e9c496e53e}
