Connect from host to an SQL in a guest

[gabaugnet]

Hi, I want to connect to SQL Server in my guest Win XP connecting form my host Win XP.
In my guest I have outgoing connections, but I can't do a ping from the host to the guest. So neither connect to the SQL Server.

How can I do that?

Thanks
Gabriel

You would need to be using Bridged mode or if you do not have a router then host-only.
Also make sure that a firewall is not blocking this.

It is set up as Bridged and I don't have a firewall activated on the guest.

Any other tip?
Thanks!

Do you have a router?
If not then select host-only for the first virtual NIC and then setup a second virtual NIC set to NAT if the guest needs the Internet.
