Linux host, Windows XP pro guest, XP join Windows Domain?

Like the title says,
I'm running Ubuntu 7.10, fully updated as the Host system.
Virtualbox 1.5.4 binary (not OSE)

Windows XP pro as the guest.
The network has a windows domain that I would like the guest to join, in fact currently the guest can only see the internet, the domain and any workgroups are completely invisible to it.

I can ping the computers in the network, but nothing else.

Can this be done? Does it have something to do with bridging adapters?

thanks,

Yes, it has everything to do with bridging adapters.

You will need bridging in place, for it to work.

Hi,

I have a Windows XP member of a domain running on a Ubuntu host. In order to do that I had to setup a bridge on my Ubuntu.

Previously I tried unsuccesfully to join the domain on NAT mode.

Before I discovered VirtualBox I used to run VMware, where Windows guests can join a domain on NAT mode.

Does anyone know if it possible on VirtualBox.

Thanks.
