It worked for me anyway allowing me to join my domain. It looks like if you select “Bridged Adapter” as attached to and select eth0 that it will work.

Neither is it possible to run scripts. An update would be very useful. On Virtualbox 2.2.4, there is no “Host Interface” under “Attached to”; only “Bridged Adaptor” and “Host Only Adaptor”.

For this go to the SetUp of your Virtual Machine under Network and tell VirtualBox to start/stop thescripts, when the VM is started/stopped. To do this, select “Host Interface” under Attached To. As Interface Name you use “tap0″ and for the startscript you use: “gksudo /home/YOURHOMEDIR/starttun.sh” For the stopscript accordingly: “gksudo /home/YOURHOMEDIR/stoptun.sh” I cannot see Host Interface, could you give more details? TIA Yaz Excellent, this is whta I was looking for

Did you change the permissions like explained above in the first step? And are you a member of the group vboxusers? Remember also, that if you just made your user a member of that group, you have to log out and then log in again for the changes to take effect!

The error is as follows when the VM executes: Failed to initialize Host Interface Networking. VBox status code: -3100 (VERR_HOSTIF_INIT_FAILED). Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: Console Interface: IConsole {e3c6d4a1-a935-47ca-b16d-f9e9c496e53e} Again 0 another "it worked on mine..." kind of answer. If I get it working, I'll post it but I have to agree with the individual who said this prevents Ubuntu from succeeding by having to patch every little thing. That's kind of the overall Linux problem succintly stated. The problem is it takes so $&@)*&# long to get everything working. God forbid, a kernel update comes out - you're at it all over again. (sorry - just ranting at yet another linux FAILURE) If anyone has solved this problem, please share & save me the time that I truly need to devote elsewhere...
