If i try to use a ""host interface"" connection using eth0 on the host system, it does not reponse to ping or anything else. I've tried it with all 4 nic drivers available in the guest. Setup: host: ifconfig eth0 192.168.23.100/24[[BR]] guest ifconfig eth1/2/3/4 192.168.23.1/24 (I've tried all 4 nics in the guest. And yes, I changed the old ethX to another subnet before assgning the 23 net to the new nic.).
