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?

Thanks
Phil

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.

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...
