Internet Connection Issue (Vista Host -> 98 Guest)

I only recently started using VBox, and loved how well it ran Windows on my iMac. Just for kicks I decided to try running Windows 98 on my Windows Vista computer. After much searching through old disks, I found the old 98 OS and got everything set up.

My Problem
The problem, which might be really easy to solve for someone more experienced (as I mentioned, I'm quite new to VBox), is that my Windows 98 guest can't seem to connect to the internet through the Vista host. I was hoping someone could help me figure out how to get the connection up and running.

Thanks :)

Not much Infos.

Try NAT, that should work. If not, post exact infos about Hosts Network Configuration.

Aha, thanks for the quick response.
It worked perfectly ;)

Also, I'll try to include more detail next time I have a question (and I'm sure I will).

Thank you sir!
