Private Network

Hello,
I have a desktop which has two network cards installed on it and I connected these two card through a hub.
On the desktop in have installed a Windows Vista Home Edition SO and a Windowx XP SO in a virtual way. I also had intalled a Virtual BOX software and Windows XP run through it.
By these way I am simulating two machines because I want to use one as a Server and the other as a Client, but I can't configure them into the same network.
It will help me, if you can give some advice or if you need some more information, please let me know.
Thanks for your attention.

Hi,
don't know if I clearly understood the issue you're facing, but try to configure the network properties of VBox for thevirtual machine so that the physical device on the host machine is configured as a bridged interface: this way, if virtual machine's net interface and one net interface of the physical host are in the same net address-space, they could 'see' each other.

see ya
