I can't seem to find my network printer. I know the problem just don't know what to do. I can connect to the internet no problem from Win7 Home premium but nothing else on the network. I don't see any of the other computers or the printer. I'm sure it's just I don't have it set up right but you know how MS is, I had XP figured out as far as setting up the network and then they go an make it easier (F-ed it up of course). Can someone help here or do I need to go to a windows topic someplace here?
Thanks

Re: Can't connect to printer.
If you left the default settings you are using NAT and that will not be able to work on the network. Switching to Bridged should fix this for you.
See Chapter 6. Virtual networking in your VirtualBox users guide.

Re: Can't connect to printer.
These threads should explain why Bridged is needed
