sharing over local network and virtual OS (VirtualBox)
If you struggle with sharing over a local network and a virtual OS (VirtualBox) then this little tip will work for you.
My problem: My shared hosts didn't show up in my virtual OS (WinXP) with Bonjour for Windows.
I searched this forum but didn't find anything so I searched the VB forums.
*** Credits to ncuris @ VB forum ***
Workflow:
1.With the guest OS off, in VB "settings", click on network, add a new adapter, select PCnet-Fast III - attach it to Host Only Adapter, name is vboxnet0
2. Start windows.
3. In Windows, download & install Bonjour for Windows
I hope this will help someone, it helped me
