problem installing in windows 2003 server

Post by u2madhav »

Dear all,
I am facing an issue trying to install the latest version. I get the following error when I try to install VirtualBox 2.0.6 on windows 2003 server setup is saying that "Sun xVM VirtualBox setup ended permaturely because of an error. You system has not been modified. To install this program at a later time, please run the installation again. Click the finish Button to exit the setup Wizard." when i press the finish button setup will be close. Please HELP ME. I really need that.

I had no problem what so ever. But ive installed virtualbox on a fresh installation of XP so i didn't have time to fill it with junk :).

I have other question. As i installed 2k3 server i would like to have 1 more guest installed. I want wirtual client and server. But as i started both virtual guests i can see that they have same IP assigned be DHCP. So my question is can they see each other in that "virtual network of theirs" if i understand correctly virtual machines are behind the router so if those my 2 virtual host are in the same network they should see each other, right?

I need this to play and learn configuring w2k3 server

You probably set the NIC to be attached to NAT. With NAT, they won't be aware of other machines, thus can have the same IP. If you want to do some fun stuff with Windows Server, add a second NIC to it, set it to Internal Networking, change the XP Guest from NAT to Internal Networking and let the server route the internet that is obtained from it's NAT connection for the XP Guest.
