VirtualBox creates/uses a network adapter named vboxnet0 on the host, when a VM network adapter is connected as "host-only". As the VM starts, VirtualBox assigns the IP address 192.168.56.1 to vboxnet0 on the host. The VM DHCP client grabs the IP address 192.168.56.101 from the VirtualBox DHCP server. Connectivity is limited between the VM and the host - unless you configure NAT and IP forwarding on the host.
For OpenWRT, if the DHCP client is not started automatically:
#/sbin/udhcpc -i br-lan -p /var/run/udhcpc.pid -s ...

The DHCP client packaged with BusyBox is udhcpc . It negotiates a lease with the DHCP server and executes a script when it is obtained or lost. There are four possible arguments to this script: deconfig : The script should put the interface in an up but deconfigured state. bound : The script should configure the interface and set any other relevant parameters. renew : This is used when a lease is renewed. IP address does not change but other parameters may change. nak : This happens when a NAK packet is received from the DHCP server. Network parameters are passed to the script via environment variables. Ubuntu documents that the default script is at /etc/udhcpc/default.script . For OpenWRT, it is located at /usr/share/udhcpc/default.script ....

One of the first things you notice about Windows Vista is the annoying User Account Control (UAC) popup. It keeps nagging you to click a confirmation button whenever you try to install or reconfigure something. With UAC, you are working with normal user privileges even though you may be logged in with an administrator account. When the application requires administrator privileges, the UAC prompt pops up to ask for your confirmation. UAC compatible applications are packed with an application manifest to tell Vista that they need elevated privileges . For legacy applications needing elevated privileges , you can check " Run this program as an administrator " on the Compatibility tab of file properties dialog. Application manifest itself is not new to Windows Vista. In...

MinGW is "Minimalist GNU for Windows" - a collection of freely available and freely distributable Windows specific header files and import libraries that allows you to build Windows native executables with GCC. MSYS is a minimal system that provides a POSIX compatible shell and utilities so that you can run the normal set of GNU build tools (such as configure, make). You can download MinGW and MSYS from sourceforge.net: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435 . The set of files is overwhelming and installation is confusing sometimes. But here's what I did in order to build ffmpeg on Windows XP: Download "Automated MinGW Installer" (MinGW 5.1.4) Install MinGW 5.1.4. Select "Candidate". Check g++, but leave other options unchecked Finish installation of MinGW Install MSYS DTK 1.0 in C:\msys\1.0. Download "MSYS...
