Bride does not work on laptop

I setup a Fedora Guest on Windows XP laptop.

I setup Bride Network for Virtual Box.
I used Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop(82450EM) for Adapter Type.

I found this when I run lspci -v

00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 02)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation PRO/1000 MT Desktop Adapter
Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 10
Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K]
I/O ports at d010
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: e1000

Is there anyway to fix this issue?

What version of Fedora?
Post the results of ifconfig -a or ip link show in the guests terminal.

I don't see where you are receiving an address. Assuming that you left everything set to default in the guest network settings it should get an address from you routers DHCP server. Do you have a router? Also post the results of the following:

From the hosts terminal/command window 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.

Note if the host is Windows you need to be in the directory that has VBoxManage.exe for the command to work.

I do not know how to setup routes.
How to determine if there is router?
I did some test. If I specify the static IP, it works. but when I set to automatic(DHCP), it cannot get any data.
