I'm completely new to this site and somewhat new to the linux terminal. long story short, I'm trying to get virtualbox going and in that process, trying to set up a DHCP Server. I'm following a tutorial so I'm not exactly sure how to handle this error I got. Can someone help me troubleshoot?
Code:
vboxmanage dhcpserver add --network=WorldWideWeb --server-ip=10.38.1.1 --lower-ip=10.38.1.110 --upper-ip=10.38.1.120
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
available for the current kernel (6.1.0-14-amd64) or it failed to
load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by
sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

Please post the link to the tutorial you are following and what you are trying to accomplish. The dhcpserver commands allow you to control the DHCP server builtin to VirtualBox.

I'm trying to set up a hacking lab using VirtualBox.
It looks like there's some kernel module component to this software. The headers to build modules are expressed by /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build so you'd better have them accessible there. That's a link to the versioned kernel source under /usr/src. If you don't have the kernel source installed, you'll need it. Building modules and installing them in place requires root privileges.
