Access LAN inside Virtual XP (Ubuntu Host)

[Urinemachine]

Hey guys - I need to access network shares from within a Windows Pro SP3 installation I have installed in my Ubuntu environment. I have guest additions installed and working (very nice!) but I need to have a 192.x address I guess and be able to access my server \\Win2k3Server1\

Any guides or suggestions?

Thanks!
Jon

You need to use bridged networking. See the virtualization mega thread for how to do this.

Thanks - I followed some other guide but got errors about not being able to initial host adapter.

Does that guide in the mega thread include VirtualBox?
