Network problem
 

Okay, I'll go into this best I can.

Alright, so I got Slackware 12.0 installed Via Sun VirtualBox.

It acts up on my desktop, thus why i installed it into VirtualBox.

Problem I'm getting is with networking, when I go to set it up, it says to pick a version, now this is my first time with Slackware, so Im a bit confused, it says Do not choose something unless you know it runs like what your running. So I've tried slack 10.0.1, slack 10.0.2, And slack 9 configs, and none of them work, I activate the card, and it instantly disables.


Anyone know how I can get this setup? I know I sound like an Idiot, just not used to fully working in this. :)

Welcome to LQ!

Your problem is with Sun VirtualBox. Slackware does not have any such message.
Therefore, you will need to get support for the Sun VirtualBox system.

Isn't there a Way I can get it setup via Slackware 12?

I know what my card is, and so I was just looking for help,because I can't seem to find anything for VirtualBox

For Slackware the file to edit is /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf

You call also issue "netconfig" as root to set it up.

I came across this thread as I was having the same issue.
Slackware 12.1 on Sun VirtualBox 1.6.2.

Section 9.11 of the VirtualBox user guide describes the settings needed for static IP of guest. For NAT:

IP address: 10.0.2.15 (one NAT instance active)
Gateway: 10.0.2.2
Name Server: 10.0.2.3

These can be set by running netconfig as root, then rebooting.
This results in a connected virtual slackware.

Hope this helps someone else if they are having the same problem.
