Anyone have any ideas on how to get bridging to
work, or is no one on the list using bridging
with fedora linux host and winXP guest?
On the host I have:

Notice that on the vbox0, there are 620 received packets, but only 43 sent.
Windows guest is unable to bring up it's interface.
# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
vboxbr0 8000.00030d152b9e yes eth0
vbox0
Because i was not getting anywhere with bringin up windows's guest
interface,
I enabled spanning tree in the host for vboxbr0 - to no avail.
Windows cannot bring up it's interface.
PS: virbr0 is not attached to any interface. It got installed
when I had accidentally selected xen kernel from the grub menu,
and it has remained in the system. My VBOX bridge is vboxbr0.
Cheers,
JD
