Hi everybody,

I'm trying to connect my VM running on Kubuntu to the Internet but I actually need your help :

In my company I have to use a proxy to surf on the web (it's configured automatically using a
remote script in firefox for instance) on the host OS (Win XP Pro) but i'm still not able to connect to
in my VM. I tried to build a bridge connection between my network card and VB's emulated card but
it doesn't seem to work. I've configured Kubuntu to use this proxy as well.
I heard some stuff about creating a loopback adapter in XP and creating a bridge connection using that
adapter but I didn't managed to make it work.

I would be glad if you could help me a little bit on that point.

Thanks for your help !

To use the proxy you need to be in the same network as the proxy server. All you need to do is change the networking setting of the vm from NAT to bridged. If there is a DHCP server on the network, the vm will get its network config from that (just as the host machine does). If it does not get a valid IP from DHCP talk to your network admin about how to configure it manually.

OK. But i don't possible use bridged network adapter. My VMs can work only with NAT adapter. And my host include in domnain on Active Directory. I'm can ping proxy host and other hosts from VM, but my proxy restricted query from guest, including don't query login/name for digest auth. Thaks for any answers.
