#3376 fixed Allowing Host->Guest networking when untethered Terry Ellison
Description

We've now had perhaps a dozen posts on the forum discussing a use-case that is not covered in the current networking models. It is a very valid one and one that I think that we should consider how we meet.

This is the scenario where the user wants to be able to have guest to host IP traffic when the host itself is untethered from any network. A good example here is some who is working on a laptop and wants to use a VM LAMP appliance as a server to demonstrate client functionality on the laptop. Host IF works fine for this as long as the host has a connected NIC that the guests host IF can connect to. NAT connection through the localhost loopback connector does work as long as the client application supports port remapping, however this is problematic for many if not most applications. The host cannot participate in an "internal network", since this only supports inter-guest communication. Perhaps the ideal solution would be have the option to expose an Internal Network to the host in much the same way as the old host IF facilitated, but really any properly documented solution will do.

I am not sure whether to classify this as major or minor, since this is functionality that VMware does support in its network adapter and this is therefore an unfavourable product differentiator for VirtualBox.

#2502 duplicate Allowing inclusion of writethough disks in snapshotted machines Terry Ellison
Description

Currently VBox throws an error "Cannot take a snapshot when there is a Writethrough hard disk attached" if you attempt to snapshot a machine which includes a write-through hdd. This is different to the approach taken by VMware. There are scenarios where it makes a lot of sense to allow write-through hdds to be attached to a machine that you want to snapshot and rollback, for example if you are testing but want to log test outputs permanently and which you therefore want to store on a write-through hdd.

VBox should permit you to snapshot a VM which has a write-through hdd attached, but raise a warning that "snapshot will exclude attached writethrough hard disk. Changes to writethrough hard disk will be permanent".
