In my VirtualBox settings for my WIN XP guest for network Adapter1 I
have ticked the box to enable adapter and have the following entered:
Adapter type: PCnet-FAST 111 (Am79C973)
(The option here is PCnet-PCI 11 (AM79C97CA)
Attached to: Bridged Adapter
(Options are: NAT,
internal network &
host-only adapter )
Name: eth0
(options are: pan0 & vibr0)
Should I have changed any of these?
OPening WIN XP guest I went to the following:
My computer > Folders > My network places > Entire network > MS Windows
Network > workgroup > TOMSBOX > Printers & faxes
This window showed an icon for HP960C (my printer) Under its properties
its port was LPT1
In Fedora 10 I opened the following:
Places . network > windows network
which when clicked on gave a message "Unable to mount location. Failed
to retrieve share list from server."
Hence I guess SMB isn't configured but don't know what to do next.
Could someone advise please?
