Raul, just enable ICS(Internet Connection Sharing) on your internet connection. To recap : - leave every network (TCP/IP) related setting on "automatic", don't change anything - you have a dial-up internet connection on the host system; enable ICS on it - you have LAN and vbox virtual adapter bridged Regards, David

Is there any way to make it work without using a proxy? Does your modem have routing functions? Perhaps you need a router... -David Murphy ____________________________________________________________________________________ TV dinner still cooling? Check out "Tonight's Picks" on Yahoo!
