    VirtualBox is pretty great compared to VMWare. Did you install the guest additions?

    I've only used it with Linux (Ubuntu) on Vista so I have no idea how shit-tastic it'll be with Vista *in* VirtualBox, but it's worked well for me so far.

    Ha. No no. Vista is my host. XP is the guest. And, yeah, I installed the guest additions.

    The post at http://cs.thefoleyhouse.co.uk/blogs/karl/archiv... explains how to make bridged networking work with a WLAN card in VMWare server 1.0.X, though the details are sparse. It worked for me. (Vista Business SP1 host, Ubuntu 7.04 server guest).

    Basically, you need to:
    1. Make a registry change that tells VMWare to allow Windows network bridging
    2. Add a new virtual network adaptor (Virtual Network Editor->Host Virtual Adapters tab)
    3. Remove the DHCP scope for the adapter added in (2) (Virtual Network Editor->DHCP tab)
    4. Bridge the adapter added in (2) with your host wireless connection

    Thank you!! This worked perfectly.

    It's nice to have yet a third option in trying to find a way to make this work as best as possible.
