Hi All
I' Have a problem ... opps ... two problem ...
first problem is that my english is very scolastic, so my sentences
could be erroneous ...

Second problem is about use of bridge device on windows xp

I have a virtual machine (with windows xp home installed) in my windows
xp pro.
I defined a virtual device for my virtual machine
To use virtual machile in network i create a bridge from ethernet card
and virtual card, all thing wotk correctly ....
But when my computer (is a Notebook with wireless card inside) is
connected to my network with wireless card i've tryed the same thing
bridging wireless card with virtua card ... but this causa the loss of
connection .... someone can hel me ?
Thanx in advance

HI
If you have a Router you should treat the VPC as an individual computer with
its own IP that would be acquired from the Router, No need for ICS or
Bridging.

Hi

OK you are talking about NAT ?
I'm using Virtual Box, i can usa NAT and all computers (real and
Virtual) can connect to internet .... but with same IP.

Using Bridge i can use two different IPs and i can access to the virtual
computer with explorer by real computer.

When i used VPC (and i had Home Edition [Not Supported by VPC] instaleld
on Real Machine) i saw the same things.

For now thanx for your answer, if you have other suggests i'm here 8)))
