Internet Slow on Hardy Host - XP Guest

Post by kaydubbleu »

Hello;

I have a XP guest running on Ubuntu Hardy in Virtualbox 1.5.6_ose, I have succesfully been able to setup a bridge between them to get the guest on my network but since then I cannot get on the internet on the host at all unless the guest is running and even then the internet on the host is noticeably slower than the guest. Any tips? Below is the output of ifconfig and my /etc/network/interfaces file.

Cheers,
Kevin W
