Hi, I wanted to add one thing if you are running a windows host and linux guest, If you set up openssl server on the linux guest you can use winscp http://* winscp*.net/ to easily transfer files from the host to the guest and vice versa via an explorer like interface. You can of course use the shared folders of Vbox itself but for me somehow on the Linux guest it takes upto 2 minutes to copy a file of say 2mb to the shared folder. Anybody have an idea why this would happen? Those who have the same problem using winscp is an option.

Hi, Thanks for your responses. I have been experimenting with the networking options. In the bridged mode, I just can't access the net though I have 2 way communication with the host and guest, perhaps because as David mentioned I am using a standard adsl2 modem which doesn't have routing functions. I had enabled ICS on an earlier attempt to get the host bridge working properly, perhaps I will have another go at that and report back. In the meantime I have been trying to get nat networking to work better, I did the nat port forwarding as explained in the vbox manual and can access my apache server on the guest if I set apache on the guest to listen to port 2222. I then used putty to login in to the guest, it worked with localhost:2222, which is the port I forwarded with vboxmanage and then used the ssh tunneling functions in putty to access more ports on the guest, for instance in putty in ssh tunnel I set up host port 3000 to guest port 3000 and can now access my rails apps too, of course I can serve the rails app on port 2222 and access it directly without putty but with putty I can access both apache and rails and any other ports I need from a single 2222 port set up by vboxmanage. I am not so adept at networking and port forwarding and stuff so I am thrilled I have got so far. The only thing is I can't ping 10.0.2.15 or 10.0.2.2 from the windows host to the linux guest even though the manual mentions this should be possible. Also unless I put in my dns address provided by the isp when I dial up dsl broadband, in the networking settings of the guest, the guest ubuntu machine can't access the net. I wonder why? Is it because my host connection is all dhcp and does not have any entries for ip, gateway and dns and stuff. Would love to figure that out and why pinging the guest on 10.0.2.15 doesn't work.
