Hi.
I'm very new to this Virtualbox, I have already maked the Guest system with Windows XP SP3 Pro with no problem but im stuck trying to make the network work there.
How do I active the USB interface for the virtual OS?, because I need it for this:
-connect to the internet with a USB wireless device.
-transfer some files via USB memory.
I'm using a laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit) that has also an internal WiFi Adapter (802.11b/g/n WLAN), how can I active this in my virtual machine?
Thank you in advance, regards.
Problem with Network and USB devices, I don't know how :(

Re: Problem with Network and USB devices, I don't know how :(
For USB install Extension Pack. And for Network use a NAT Adapter in the network setings.
All described in FAQ and Manual.

I have installed the Extension Pack but still haven't be able to active the USB.
I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
I'm using VirtualBox 4.0.6 for Windows hosts x86/amd64.

I already searched in the FAQ and manual, but still don't know how.

Please download VBOX 4.06 again. There was a problem with USB in the first packages.

Oh, OK I will download againstefan.becker wrote:Please download VBOX 4.06 again. There was a problem with USB in the first packages.
I have one question.
Do I have to install the drivers (for example, for my Video card) in the Virtual machine?
I mean, I'm testing using Virtualbox for an Online Game, but everytime I try to run the game it crash, I was wondering if the video card drivers are installed on the virtual machine, or do I need to install them, the problem is that I haven't found that drivers, I think is because there is no compatibility with XP, so I was wondering if the drivers are already installed for the virtual machine, I hope.
Thanks for the help,
Greetings.
