Which product are you talking about Java or VirtualBox? VirtualBox will install a network connection so that virtual machines can have access to the network your host computer is attached to. Java will not install any network adapters. -- We don't give a d@mn for the whole state of Michigan... we're from OHIO! O!H! ... I!O!

When you create a virtual machine in VirtualBox, it defaults to NAT networking which I believe doesn't required the VBox Ethernet adapater. This is probably why your seeing your virtual machines still work even with the VBox Etherent removed from the host. Is there a particular reason you remove the VBox Etherenet after VirtualBox installs it on your machine? It has caused no issues at all on my machine. -- Verizon FiOS subscriber since 2005 \| Mac owner since 1990 \| Fedora user since 2006 \| CentOS user since 2007 \| "Anyone who is unwilling to learn is entitled to absolutely nothing." - graysonf \| EDIT: I seldom post without an edit.
