VirtualBox Networking in Windows XP

How to set up a network in VirtualBox under Windows XP. One thing I forgot to mention, is that if you are using a wireless connection you will need to re-authenticate yourself to the wireless network, because your IP address will change.

FYI the newer versions of VirtualBox have a feature that's built in to bridge with your existing physical connection. This includes both wired and wireless. I go into more detail on this in my Windows 7 and VirtualBox video.

Thanks for this very much, I learned a lot! Didn't even know I had to bridge the connections manually in the Network Connections window when using bridged mode.

I'm wondering though, how can you allow the VM (guest) to connect to the network through WiFi but deny the host any access to internet?

Thanks once again and greets from Amsterdam :p
