Networking not working

Post by NShiell »

Hi i'm a complete newbie to this,

I have a server running WinXP Pro SP2 as a host OS running VirtualBox
I have installed the same OS into the quest enviroment.

The guest OS works fine but the networking dosn't
whatever I seem to do my quest OS says "Limmited or no connectivity"
I have set up a host interface

Am I missing something simple?

Networking problem

Hey.
I had a similar problem (Only I tried to install Debian Etch as a guest).

I've disabled the windows XP integrated firewall and things started to work
like a charm.

If you have a different firewall, try to tweak it.

Squigly.
