Thanks Christopher, Do I need an additional network card for the bridge? I read on the opensuse wiki a method that seemed to assume you have 2 ethernet cards...

Hi, I don't use Virtualbox personally, but the same thing should apply - you don't need an additional NIC for the bridging to work (probably unless you have very heavy traffic). If you just want one address for the virtual machine (XP) and a different one for your host machine, you can use a single NIC; at least that is the case with VMware server. Hope that helps. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

----- Original Message ---- From: Phil Burness To: opensuse@opensuse.org Sent: Wednesday, January 2, 2008 1:37:47 PM Subject: [opensuse] virtualbox networking

I have XP running in a virtualbox. I have NAT selected as the network interface. From within windows XP on the virtual box I can see the 'world' using internet explorer. running ipconfig in XP it shows my interface as having a network address of 10.0.2.15 and a default gateway address of 10.0.2.2 running ifconfig on my linux box hosting the virtual box i have eth0 with an ip address of 192.168.1.69. My router to the internet is 192.168.1.254.

The questions are.... a) How can I connect from other machines on the 192.168.1.xxx network to the windows machine and vice versa? b) Can I open the connection to allow upnp connections?

In order to get other machines able to "see" the virtual machine, you are going to need to change the networking within the VM from NAT to Bridged mode. This will allow that XP VM to have an IP address within the same subnet as the other hosts on your 192.168.x.x network.

On the web page it says use VBoxAddIF, I can't find this file (find \ -name VBoxAddIF -print)? should this be provided as part of the virtualbox installation? Thanks Phil -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Did you mis-type the command? You have find \ when it should be find /.

Sorry Ken, No I just miss-typed in the e-mail, the actual command was find / - name etc. I did a rpm -ql virtualbox and the file is not in the rpm, so I don't have it. I'm using virtualbox 1.5.2 Phil -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I'm using the one downloaded from http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads and I see they have a newer version available.
