[sf-lug] virtualbox - windows xp - problem to connect to Internet (Microsoft Explorer)

Sun Sep 16 20:44:09 PDT 2012

Well hmm where to start :-) First I have figured out somehow so I can connect under the VirtualBox Windows XP machine but I do not like that because I do not completely understand what I have done. The thing which worked for me was that I changed in the Windows XP machine in the Network set: Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties: obtain an IP address automatically and also obtain an DNS server address automatically. However I have some questions below so I understand things properly and I can set up static IP.

When I click in the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager on the File ==> Preferences ==> Network I get window with: vboxnet0 If I click on it I get: 

IPv4 Address: 192.168.56.1   # is this the Default Gateway?

IPv4 Network Mask: 255.255.255.0

DHCP Server: Enabled
Address: 192.168.56.100  # is this the static IP address???

Network Mask: 255.255.255.0
Lower Bound: 192.168.56.101
Upper Bound: 192.168.56.254
??? What is the DNS server address???

When I click in the Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager on Machine ==> Settings ==> Network  I get Adapter 1 ==> Attached to NAT 

If I click under the Machine, Setting, Network on the Bridged Adapter it doesn't give me any option to change IP address at least not under this menu.

Now I finally managed to find where to change IP and other network staff at Windows XP and when I select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) it gives me this info:

IP Address: 192.168.0.102

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Use the fallowing DNS address: 

Preferred DNS server: 203.248.252.2
Alternate DNS server: 164.124.101.2

What shall I change for what?

Sorry for asking so much but there are three different settings and even when experimenting it doesn't work yet.

Many thanks,

Sincerely,

The virtual machine (win) and physical (Linux) are two separate ones, and as such - need separate IPs. Go into the VM's network settings and do one ofhe following: change the network to NAT, in which VBox runs a virtual dhcp, assigns an ip to the vm and routes it outside, or change it to 'bridged' and assign it with a new ip (0.103, for example).
In NAT you are behind routing, so the vm is accessible from outside without further tinkering, whereas 'bridged' means I is on the network as any other machine.

Yes I did assign it manually. At the beginning of the Installation it asked me for the network details and when I tried to skip it it did not allow me to so I just copy the info from the Linux set up. The IP is wrong than? If so, to what shall I change it?
