In the VirtualBox user manual, the section that talks about bridging, it says in one part: If your host is running Windows XP or newer, you can also use the built-in bridging feature to connect your host interfaces to your physical network card. After creating the desired host interfaces, select your physical network adapter in the Network Connections folder and the desired host interface adapters and select Bridge connections from the popup menu. My laptop runs Windows Vista, but I don't know what is meant by the phrase "Network Connections folder". Is it a virtualbox thing? Is it a Windows thing? Either way, where is it? > Read the documentation of your virtualbox solution, search for bridging. > >> > HTH > Sebastian > > -- > " Religion ist das Opium des Volkes.
