NAT Not working

Post by alexboia »

Hello,

I have just installed the latest version of Virtualbox (2.2.4) on a Vista Ultimate x64 host. The guest operating system is Windows Server 2008 Enterprise and i have the default networking settings, using NAT.

The host operating system is connecting to the internet via a PPPOE connection, but the guest operating system cannot access the internet.

I have browsed the internet all day for a solution for this problem but haven't found anyhting that could work for me.

Thanks in advance,
Alex.

If the Internet connection is connected directly to the PC and not going through a router first you will need to use ICS to allow the connection and then use a proxy setting in the web browser and email program. Other than that you would need a $40 PPPOE router.
