I've activated Network adapter in VirtualBox (running Windows XP) but I

The worst part is when I enable bridge mode on second adapter the
keyboard lock up, so I need to reboot the box :-/
I've copied the VM into my other box and VirtualBox Network part is
working in both Bridge and NAT mode.
So I can not seem to understand why it is working on one box but not the
other.
Does it have something to do with Promiscuous Mode?
Promiscuous Mode is needed for bridging to work. This is why NAT
mode is preferable, btw, unless you have a good reason to use
bridging.
How to check if network card is set/support "promiscuose" mode?
I know to set it is:
ifconfig eth0 promisc
I need to mount some directory via samba to backup some windows files and in NAT mode was not able to mount the Windows XP directory, it bridge mode
samba has no problem mounting windows directory.
