Virtualbox: I can connect to linux guest but not to xp guest

[yersin]

Hi,

I have a problem connecting my Fedora8 host with my winxp guest using Virtualbox. However, I have no problems connecting with my Linux SmeServer guest. I have followed the steps given in the manual but I haven't been successful.

# nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0

DEVICE=br0
TYPE=Bridge
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes

# nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-yhh

DEVICE=eth3
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
HWADDR=00:06:4f:52:81:3e
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=yes
IPV6INIT=no
NM_CONTROLLED=no
BRIDGE=br0

# ifconfig

Currently, vbox0 is assigned to my Linux SmeServer guest, which runs normally. But vbox1 is assigned to Xp guest, and there's no connection. What can I do?

Thanks

Hi. I tried again with a fresh install of Win 2003 as guest, and I still I can't get the bridge to work properly. Please, how can I troubleshoot this problem?

Thanks.
