linking networks

Post by interceptor84 »

Hello,

i am currently running virtual box on a windows vista host, and ubuntu server 9 as my guest, my intention is to run openvpn access server on ubuntu.

what i am trying to find out is how i can setup networking so that my guess os can communicate with my host and vice verse through the network. if there is any kind of guide this would be great.

my connection to the net is though a router. any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Just use the bridged option. Your guest will look like another machine on the network. It should get its network config from DHCP on your router.
