However the situation with bridged NICs disallows to port to a different host. From original author, ""NeBlackCat"": ""When moving VMs back and forth between Windows and Linux hosts, or using a dual boot configuration, you're faced with the issue that NIC names will be different. In Windows, VirtualBox uses the immutable Windows-assigned NIC names (eg. ""Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCI-E Ethernet Controller(NDIS6.20)"") in its .vbox files, not the user rename-able friendly names (eg. ""LAN"", or even ""eth0""), so you can't make them the same."" original forum thread: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=40774&p=183435#p183435 -Technologov, NeBlackCat, and others... 16.04.2011.",enhancement,new,other,VirtualBox 4.0.4,,,,other,other
