#1903 worksforme Allow host and guest on same network Robert Dale
Description

I don't recall how VMware does it, but it would be something like bring up an ethernet interface on the host that's attached to the virtual internal network. This would allow for where the host acts as a router/firewall to the guests.

#6854 fixed Allow hot-plug addition / removal of screens (monitors) in guest OS fuujuhi
Description

It would be nice to add / remove monitors to a running VirtualBox, i.e. change the monitor count without the need to shutdown the guest OS.

In my case for instance, I use VB on a laptop that has an external monitor attached to it. To reduce desktop clutter, I use the fullscreen/seamless mode. However when I detach the external monitor to go somewhere else, I can't use fullscreen/seamless mode anymore because virtualbox complains there are more virtual screens than physical ones.

Also, if I boot the laptop while not attached to the external monitor, I cannot later connect a 2nd monitor to the VB to benefit from the external monitor.

Ideal solution to this problem would be to allow hot-plug addition / removal of new monitor in the guest OS without need of shutdown, etc.

A work-around solution, would be to allow fullscreen/seamless while there is less physical screens than virtual ones, e.g. by disabling one of the screen (in that case, the screen is still visible to the guest OS, but the content is not displayed in the host anymore). That would be less ideal, but still workable and may be easier to implement I guess.

#1909 wontfix Allow mounting host folders as guest disks Petr Dvorak
Description

Hi!

I am a VB newbie, so please don't be mad at me if this RFE is totally stupid or worse - a duplicate (I tried to search in your database for similar report, with no success).

I would like to see following feature: Allow VB users to mount a host folder as a guest HDD. Simply, you would go to the dialog where you would select a folder from the host PC and it would be detected by the quest OS as a newly connected hard drive...

I believe this feature would make file sharing much easier.

With regards,

Petr Dvorak
