In vbox preferences change the ip to anything but 192.168.0.10
eg try 192.168.0.11 or 192.168.0.1 instead.

This should work for host only. If you are using bridged mode whatever you put in there wont make a difference.

Can you reach the index page or can you reach neither pwAdmin or the index.

The only other thing I can think of at this time is the mac address. Did you change the mac address to the one provided?

Ok pick a server release and I will try and guide you through it. Any release can be used with virtual box (I also prefer vbox over vmware).

Currently I have successfully setup the following releases.
http://forum.ragezone.com/f452/vbox-image-pw-1-3-6-1-a-650130/
http://forum.ragezone.com/f452/try-release-server-1-3-6-1-a-666420/

It would be easiest if you choose one of those releases as I can be more specific about the configuration.

i have been trying to use this http://forum.ragezone.com/f452/try-release-server-1-3-6-1-a-666420/
and would still love to use it..

This is a guide for setting up hrace009 vbox and Aringaso vmware release in Oracle Virtualbox. I used vbox v3.1.2 from the hrace release on Windows 7 64bit.
-

[size=medium]Start[/size]
1) Download and install vbox on your system.
2) Choose a release from the following.
hrace vbox release - Aringaso vmware release

If you chose Aringaso release please continue from Step 8

[size=medium]hrace009 vbox release guide[/size]
3) Download the vbox image from the first post in the release thread or the mirror below.
-
4) Start vbox
5) Choose [File>Import Appliance] from the menu
6) Click the "Choose" button and select the .ovf from the hrace release archive
7) Choose next and import. It should automatically load the settings. You can adjust the ram depending on what you have.
Please Skip to Step 16

[size=medium]Aringaso Server Release Guide[/size]
8) Download the vmware image from the release thread
- - -
9) Start vbox
10) Click the "New" button
11) Click next and give your server a name. Changing the OS and version is not important
12) Adjust the memory to half of what you have in your pc (1.5GB or more is recommended). Click next.
13) Copy the vdmk from Aringaso server release to "C:/~your documents~/.VirtualBox/HardDisks". Or put it elsewhere if you want.
14) On vbox "Virtual Hard Disk" page choose "Use existing hard disk" and browse to where the vdmk is.
15) Click next and Finish

Vbox Network Configuration
16) Click the settings button and choose the network settings.
17) From the "attached to:" dropdown box either choose "Host-Only Adapter" or "Brided Adapter". If you wish to play with friends you must choose "Bridged Adapter.
18) Copy and paste the mac address supplied by your release into the "Mac Address:" box.
jhou15 - Help With Vbox/Vmware configuration ;x - RaGEZONE Forums
Fig 1.1 The highlighted areas are what you click and change. This image is for setting up hrace vbox for "Host-Only"
If you chose "Host-Only Adapter" Skip to Step 20

Additional Bridged Adapter Configuration
19) In the "Name:" box select your active network adapter (ie the adapter that connects your pc to the network).
Please Skip to Step 24

Additional Host-Only Configuration
20) Choose [File>Preferences]
21) Click "Network"
22) If there is not already an adapter there create one by clicking the
jhou15 - Help With Vbox/Vmware configuration ;x - RaGEZONE Forums
button.
23) Click the
jhou15 - Help With Vbox/Vmware configuration ;x - RaGEZONE Forums
button and on the first tab enter your server network details that are provided.
jhou15 - Help With Vbox/Vmware configuration ;x - RaGEZONE Forums
fig 1.2 This shows the "Host-Only" configuration for the hrace release server.

Starting Your Virtual Machine for the first time
24) Click the "Start button on vbox to start your virtual machine
25) Wait a while...
26) When prompted enter the credentials for your server.
hrace release - User:root, Password:hrace009
Aringaso release - User:root, Password:aringaso
Note: You will not see any characters or any sign of anything when you type your password. Just type it in carefully and press enter.

Configuring your server network settings
Important: This requires you to have knowledge of your network!
27) Type the following
Code:
nano /etc/network/interfaces
You will be presented with a some text representing your network configuration.

28) Edit this to your network config.
Code:
#The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.10  #This is your server IP
netmask 255.255.255.0 #Subnet mask
network 192.168.0.0 #Network
broardcast 192.168.0.255 #Broardcast
gateway 192.168.0.1 #This is your gateway which is your router.
# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1 #dns if you have it.
jhou15 - Help With Vbox/Vmware configuration ;x - RaGEZONE Forums
Fig 1.3 This is for the hrace release. The vmware release will differ slightly.
29) Once you have configured the settings press "Ctrl + O" to save the file and press "Ctrl + X" to exit nano.
30) type
Code:
nano /etc/resolv.conf
Code:
nameserver 192.168.0.1
You put your name server in here.

31) Test if you have configured you interfaces properly by running WinSCP. As the host type your server IP and for the user and pass enter your credentials. If you can connect with winSCP from the host pc also try from another pc on the network.

If you can connect with WinSCP then congratulations you have configured the network successfully for local play.

32) Now you must configure the server files to match your IP you specified in your interfaces. Using WinSCP or a linux text editor like nano or vi you need to change all ips except 0.0.0.0 to your ip in the following files.
/PWServer/gacd/gamesys.conf
/PWServer/gamed/gmserver.conf
/PWServer/gamed/gs.conf
/PWServer/gamed/gsrollback.conf
/PWServer/gamedbd/cashstat.conf
/PWServer/gamedbd/gamesys.conf
/PWServer/gdeliveryd/gamesys.conf
/PWServer/gfactiond/gamesys.conf
/PWServer/glinkd/gamesys.conf
/PWServer/logservice/logservice.conf
/PWServer/uniquenamed/gamesys.conf
/etc/authd.conf
/etc/gmopgen.xml
/etc/GMserver.conf
/etc/hosts
/etc/iweb.conf
/root/apache-tomcat-5.5.28/webapps/pwAdmin/.pwconf.conf
Do you want online play? If not goto Step 36

Online Setup
33) There is a detailed guide and thread on setting up your server for online play here
No-ip Guide
34) Once you have lan connection you have internet also if your network is configured so that other local pcs have internet.
35) Remember to forward your ports (29000 for the server and 80 or 8080 for register page).

Starting your Server
36) Start tomcat with the following
Code:
./tomcat_start.sh
37) Goto
38) Start your server and enjoy.


If you have any problems or questions or if I missed something out or should have more detail let me know.

Um this may be a silly a little thing that I forgot but do you have the virtualbox bridged driver enabled on your network adapter?

And yes you should be able to use the aringaso server with a dual boot. The server itself is the /PWServer/ folder. You will however need to get the require libraries and apps for it to work though.

"Host Only" works exactly like the name says. It means that only the host machine can access virtualbox. You wont get any other connection with host only.

Anyway glad you got it working.

um yes its enabled. but now im curious about dual boot o.o how can i make the aringaso vmware virtual disk so that it is only the server folder? I would love to use it in dual boot ubuntu/xp because i know how to make it work in there but i cant find how to convert aringaso's vmware virtual disk into a folder of files, sub folders/sub files, where i can see everything(like most perfect world server releases are)thanks in advance.

Um you may need network so that you can get the files off via WinSCP or something similar.

However I did find this


Its a 30 day trial but as of v8.10 it has compatibility with vmdk files so you should be able to extract the files.

I havent tested this.

I could always upload the files though but it will take a while.

Also I believe ronny made a really good post on installing a server debian. It might be good to have a look at it.

i tried the WinImage and when i tried to extract..it wouldnt even do anything.. i also looked for a while and found a VMWare mount program but it doesnt even run -.- so i would love it if you could upload your folder.. when you have the time of course :)
