I have been using Parallels on Mac OS X Server (Snow) succesfully to run XP with IIS so people can access a web based application.
Basically the Mac OS X has a static IP address and then when I install Parallels/Windows XP I assign a static IP.
I can then access my web application from the browsers. I also map a couple of drives.
Are there any quirks or issues with this setup using Virtualbox?
Thanks

Re: Running Windows XP/IIS under Mac OS X Server
Nothing whatsoever. The VM will run without problems. Do make sure you read chapter 6 - Networking of the User Manual so you don't use the wrong network mode. Just in case it differs a lot from Parallels.
