Hi Greg. Have you tried any network configuration yet? It's unclear from
the message. If you're starting from scratch, I'd point you to the
VirtualBox user guide, specifically section 5.3.3.1 for setting up a
bridged connection. Once you've got it to where you can ping other hosts on
the network from the guest and vice versa, you'll need to install/configure
Samba on the guest to get it working with the MS workgroup. (Samba works
over a bridged connection, right guys?)
