Hrm.  Are you running from a real partition or from a virtual disk?  If
the former, did you install WinXP using the host or did you install in a
vbox guest?

Wish mine was.  :-/

Yeah.  Create a tun/tap and bridge it to your hosts interface.  Not
terribly difficult.

512MB and 32MB of video.  I thought memory was a problem when I noticed
that the hard disk (the little icon on the bottom right of the vbox
guest window) seems to take quite a beating for just about everything so
I upped it to 512MB but with no improvement.  Hard disk still takes
quite beating for every single action I execute in the guest.
