Hi, you have to setup a TAP (Network Bridge) on your host-system to make the guest able to reach your physical network.
See http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/wxpbrdge.html Then you only have to type in the name of the bridge into your HIF on VirtualBox and the VBox will run integrated, I hope so. ;) Greetz Sebastian Menachem Bazian wrote: > Hi All, > > I am having a problem with Host Interface Networking that has me > stumped.
