Setting up a vagrant box from an existing vm

Question

I am trying to set up a box from an existing vm. I started by mostly following the instructions at https://scotch.io/tutorials/how-to-create-a-vagrant-base-box-from-an-existing-one. But I didn't want to lose my original vm, so I skipped that part and I created a new dir with a new Vagrant file. vagrant up brings up a vm OK, but it can't connect. I was able to get in on the console. The second net adapter had the same ip as the original vm, even though I set it differently in the Vagrant file. I changed the ip of that adapter and now I can ssh in. Any ideas on how I can get vagrant to handle the ips correctly to begin with? Thanks!

Setting config.ssh.private_key_path worked for me.
