-Creating VirtualBox/Vagrant box
+Creating a Packer box
 ---
+Create a host-only network interface for VirtualBox (unless ```ifconfig -a``` already lists ```vboxnet0```)
+```
+VBoxManage hostonlyif create >/dev/null 2>&1
+```
+
+Now assign an IP to this interface with a subnet that doesn't conflict with your home ones (avoid ```192.168.0.x```), for example ```192.168.23.x```
+```
+vboxmanage hostonlyif ipconfig vboxnet0 --ip 192.168.23.1 --netmask 255.255.255.0
+```
+
 Edit file ```alfresco-boxes/packer/precise-alf421.json``` to choose an IP that can be bridged to one of your host Network Interfaces:
