Choose the NAT option in the network settings of the virtual machine. If you didn't change anything in your XP, the default is to automatically get an address (DHCP) then you should be all set.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

It shouldn't show any 'name'. That is the correct/expected behavior.

Could you be more specific? What can't you get working? The IP that you refer to is the IP of host or of the guest?

What exactly have you done? Normally Internet access just works, because the default setting of NAT simply shares the host's Internet connection. If you are getting an IP of 10.0.0.18 you are not using the default settings.
