Windows XP VB cannot see my windows network

Post by fweeee »

My host machine is vista (64 bit), and I am running windows XP in virtualbox. It works fine, and when i use the default networking option I can access the internet.

The problem is, I cant see my network. I cant see the computer it is hosted on's shared drives, nor any other computers on the network.

What do I have to do to get it on my network like any other computer?

Thanks.

Only reading the User Manual is needed. Topic Bridge / Host Interface.

I had read this before.

I gave it another go - it seems I hadnt specified the right host interface (I forgot my computer has 3, only 1 of which I use).
