virtualbox.org

hello,

I just installed virtualbox at work on an xp host. I choosed Ubuntu 8.04.
Everything is alright except that I can't access the internet.
In fact we have a proxy server at work, and I don't know how to tell that to my virtual box.

could you help me ?

Try to set your proxy in the software you're using for the internet on the Guest. If that failes, use a Host Interface with bridge setup and try again with the proxy settings.

If you are using Microsoft proxy server, you need to do little more. please checkout this article http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/12889

hello,

thanks for your answers. I found a solution with an export http_proxy
everything is alright now

Hi,

i have a problem with proxies too.

I am using mobile internet with my iphone and my mac. the iphone and the mac connect using wireless lan. To make that work i have to use a proxy in the host system (OS X). For example safari works without any changes, but firefox needs some extra settings in the network tab, see below:

socks host: ip_adress_of the_modem port: 1080

then i changed a setting in about:config

network.proxy.socks_remote_dns -> true

that works fine. but i can´t get a connection in my browser in virtualbox. now i´m a bit helpless, can anybody help me with the settings in virtualbox? i´m using xp as guest system

Thanks for any help, much appreciated
