guest linux fedore 11 can't ping host XP

[nguyenhung77478]

Hi all,

I have a guest linux fedora 11 running on host XP using 4 different adapters below

PCnet-FAST III (Bridged adapter, Realtek RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC)
PCnet-FAST III (Internal network, 'intnet')
PCnet-FAST III (NAT)
PCnet-FAST III (Host-only adapter, 'VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter')


Host XP and guest linux gets IP addresses from DHCP server (router).

1/ From Host XP if I ping guest by name , it works but displays an IP address completely different from DHCP.
If From Host XP if I ping guest by IP address it works just fine.
2/ From guest Linux I CAN NOT ping host XP by its IP address nor by name, the shell just sits there and displays nothing.

Thanks

Switch to bridged if you have a router or change to host-only and use a second adapter set to NAT for Internet.
