I have already tried with Internal Network and default name intnet. WindowsXP1 machine have ip adress 192.168.1.1 and WindowsXP2 machine have ip adress 192.168.1.2. When i ping 192.168.1.2 from WindowsXP1 or 192.168.1.1 from WindowsXP2 i get the message "Request Timed Out". I try with VBoxManage dhcpserver but the message is the same. What's the problem in this ?
