So I have recently heard the call to return and it has been probably 7-8 years since I last was playing actively. Back then I had a second machine connected off a hub running gentoo with no problems. So I loaded up in virtual box a new hard drive and installed multiple flavors and had nothing but problems getting the package dependencies to match. I finally after reading a few posts on here switched over to centos 6.8 and after installing about 4 packages was able to get the latest tar file to compile without error. I fired it up and nothing showing across the network. I made sure that virtual box is set as bridged mode for the network adaptor. I also put in the ip address in showeq of the host to listen to (full and not 127.0.0.1). Beyond that still no skittles or even realization that it is connected. I am guessing I am missing something probably obvious and it has just been too long. Does anyone have any quick ideas that might help out?

Thank you,
Steven
