virtualbox.org

Hi,

I just loaded VirtualBox 3.0 and have Ubuntu 9.04 as guest, and Windows XP as Host. I tried to ping those two systems. i can only get the reply when ping from XP to Ubuntu, and no reply at all while i ping from Ubuntu to XP. The network setting in VirtualBox as below:

- Adapter Type: PCnet-PCI II (Am79C790A)
- Attached to: Host-Only Adapter
- Name: VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter

Can you please advice how can i solve the above problems? (able to ping from Ubunut to XP)

Thanks you very much for your time and any advice you may give me.

Best Regards,
sanlen
