VirtualBox conflict?

[henook]

I have a XP virtual machine on my computer. Virtualisation software is VirtualBox (by Sun microsystems).

The problem is that I lost internet connection on my virtual box as soon as I enable Gbridge network card. :(
The problem also prevent my virtual box to connect to computers in local network.
So I have to disable Gbridge network card (on my real PC) each time I need to connect somewhere on my virtual box.

Is there a work around for this?
Any way to combine 2 networks (Real Lan + Gbridge one)?? So my virtual box will be able to connect to PCs in Lan and those in my Gbridge contacts.

Haven't tested virtualbox. Does virtualbox have configure options to choose which NIC on the host to use?

We cannot explicitly specify the Network adapter to use..

We must use a network adapter created by VirtualBox itself if we select "Host interface" in the settings window.
Maybe a way to a solution by tunneling?

We were not so far from the solution.. :cool:

On the virtual box :

Go to Settings
Network Tab
Select : Attached to "Host Interface"
In the "Host interfaces" list create a new interface (IE : Interface 1)
Select it and click OK

On the Host machine :

Open network connections settings window
Create a bridge between "Interface 1" (the one created for virtual box) and your LAN network adapter

After that, i'm able to use Gbridge on my host computer without disturbing my network connection on my virtual box! :D

I tried to add Gbridge to the freshly created bridge so I would be able to connect to "My computers" through Gbridge protocol from my virtual box... But it didn't success.. I was unable to ping my Gbridged computers. Any idea for that?
