Can anyone remember how to change that 10.xxx.xxx.xxx subnet to a 192.xxx.xxx.xxx subnet? Otherwise I will have to revert an old computer back to XP rather than dumping it to make more room
In the VBox Network settings, I use:
Attached to: NAT
Name: <blank>
Under Advanced:
Adapter type: Intel Pro /1000 MT... (You DO need to have the driver ready to install in XP)
Promiscuous mode defaults to Deny
Mac address is created by VBox.
When I boot XP, it queries my router, and gets a DHCP address. It has been a while since I tried, but I think this configuration will NOT "talk" to the host machine, but it will "talk" to the other machines on the network (should include a NAS). Use the Shared folders feature to "talk" to the host machine.
You can use Bridged network, to "talk" to the host machine, as well as the rest of the network, but that requires the ancient TAP driver. It works, but will slow your whole network to a crawl.
