Running VB 2.2.2 - Is it possible to run a wireless print server on a XP guest system? If so, how does the network connections (nat) impact the tcp/ip connections that must be set for the print server? Thanks!

Won't work as you're going the wrong NAT way, using lpr and port forwarding might work but Bridge mode would be better.

Thanks for the reply. Is there a preferred way to set up bridge mode?

Depends on how you are accessing the adapter who is serving the printer, if this is about ip access, a unix printserver driver would be better on the Host, even W2K/XP has one.
