# Fixing docker-machine running on MacOS Monterey

So doing some testing with an old tutorial I stumbled upon an error creating a virtual machine using the [docker-machine](https://github.com/docker/machine) tool.
Although `docker-machine` is not supported anymore I found it convenient and didn't want to spend more time looking for an alternative.

Long story short (this would be a short post) if you stumble on error that you can an IP can not be assigned to the virtual machine by VBoxManage e.g.:
```
VBoxManage: error: Code E_ACCESSDENIED (0x80070005) - Access denied (extended info not available)
VBoxManage: error: Context: "EnableStaticIPConfig(Bstr(pszIp).raw(), Bstr(pszNetmask).raw())" at line 242 of file VBoxManageHostonly.cpp
```

Then the easy solution would be to create a file `/etc/box/network.conf` if it is not existing and add the following to it:

```shell
* 0.0.0.0/0 ::/0
```
*don't forget the asterisk (*) at the beginning of the line*
