I have added TAP$ driver in MPTS with IBM OS/2 Netbios protocol attached and rebooted. I have run - vboxmanage modifyvm "XP" -hostifdev1 lan0 Now when I try to start the XP guest with the network card set to Host Interface, I get a message- Failed to initialize Host Interface Networking. VBox status code: -3100 (VERR_HOSTIF_INIT_FAILED). Does the TAP protocol need to be attached to lan0? What is it lacking?
