How do you port a virtual machine from VMWare to VirtualBox?

Question

I've been using VMWare for a while and am very happy with it, but I would like to compare it with VirtualBox. Apparently the disk images are compatible, and I have successfully booted my Fedora based VM created by VMWare in VirtualBox... but the network is completely unavailable. How do you port a virtual machine from VMWare to VirtualBox and keep all the capabilities intact?

Answer 1

have you tried going into the options in virtual box and changing the network adapter to the VB one? VB is a bit different in it's virtual adapters, you might have to create a new one attached to the nic and then specify that one as the primary nic.
