Well, after reading several tutorials, reference books, and the VBox manual I'm not quite there.
In the end, I need to run a process (a debugger) on a virtual XP (the company does not support Linux), and connect to it from Eclipse running on Ubuntu.
After installing XP on vbox, I setup the first NIC to do NAT, and this works fine, and a 2nd to do Host.
Here is my /etc/network/interfaces:
# Define interfaces which are auto
auto lo eth0 br0
# Loopback Interface
iface lo inet loopback
# Ethernet 0 Interface
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
# Bridge
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge-ports eth0
I have setup my ubuntu box to use a static IP so I can easily port-fwd to it later to do some other things.
My first question is: How can I test to see if I can see my XP "host" so I know it's working?
I have been able to get to my shared directory that I created, but now how can I connect to a running app, and see my XP host on the LAN?
