Ubuntu 9.04 Bridged Networking in Virtualbox

Post by sualc1812 »

Hi everyone,

I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 on my PC, Virtualbox 2.1.4_OSE (NAT Networking) and inside Windows XP Professional.
Now I would like to use my network printer within Windows. However the windows printer driver cannot access
the network printer through the NAT networking of Virtual box.

To get this running I've learned so far that I have to setup bridged networking in Virtualbox/Ubuntu,
but I have no idea how to do this without destroying the well working Networkmanager-Setup of Ubuntu.

Can anybody give me step-by-step instructions how to set this up ?

Cheers

I found the solution.

Silly me.

In latest Virtualbox Release there is no need to do anything in Ubuntu.
Just select "Host Interface" and that's it.
