No Internet

I've setup VirtualBox on a Mac but I'm struggling to get the internet connection working.
I'm connecting through ethernet on my Mac and I found a suggestion to enable Internet Connection Sharing on the Mac which I've done but the Windows XP guest won't connect still.
I got shared folders working so I'm sure the guest is seeing the Mac. On the guest, I'm using bridged connection using the ethernet port on my Mac.
Any help/suggestions would be great.
Thanks.

Does it work if you change the type to NAT instead of Bridged?

I'm afraid not, that is what I initially tried, I've since switched back but still no luck.
I'm not sure if there's just something I'm missing? Do I need specific drivers? Anything like that?

Post the guests log file (as an attachment)
See
Online Users Manual for the location of the file.
Also From the hosts terminal type
VBoxManage showvminfo <VM Name> --details and post here. Replace <VM Name> with the actual name of the VM. Use " " if the name has a space in it.

Shut down the guest and in the network settings of the guest change from the intel to the PCnet-FAST III adapter and see if it works.

Hi,
I know this post is pretty old, but - which adapter did you used eventually?
