Virtual Box Windows XP Guest
well I had internet at first
then something BAD happened and I had to reinstall the Linux OS
I installed VBox again & attached the backup VDI's
now when I run WinXP there is NO INTERNET
I remember seeing something in Linux Network Connections - a bridge
but I never looked at it closely
since the re-install that bridge is no longer there
the bridge was installed by VBox or when the WinXP driver was installed
I suspect the VBox Guest Add did the bridging
I assume that is what is causing my connection issue
VBox network was set to NAT
so my question is what do I bridge to in Linux?
here is what I have in WinXP Guest
