I have problem with virtualbox.
I setted the dns server address with Mepis Assistant, or resolv.conf.
But everytime I reboot the machine, the dns server isn't setted.

You have Antix inside VB as a guest? Is there some reason you cannot use dhcp to get DNS.

Usually the guest gets it's connection by the host sharing it's connection therefore sharing all the connection info.

Do you mean it is a problem in the vbox arhitecture, not in the antix settings?
If it is do, I'm happy!
Thx

The connection is usually made by the host. If the host has a connection the the guest should also be connected. VirtualBox's settings can change the type of connection but this is done at the host level in the settings.
