Lan with current virtual machine I'm using (Mandriva image I grabbed from
the site I originally posted about) worked fine. Took a few 'maybe this
will work' clicks. I vaguely recall some issue about Eth0 v. Eth1, but,
really, no problem. As for wifi, the computer I am using is a hard wired
desktop without a wifi dongle. So, once again, I am unable to offer you any
feedback on your question.

One of the nice things about the preconfigured images is that many of the
issues that arise when one makes one's own machine are eliminated. Plug and
play, if you will. I use VB as a browsing sandbox, so my demands on the
setup are few. Actually, if anybody wanted to weigh in on the security
aspects of using VirtualBox with Linux guest and xp host, I would be all
ears.

I've never messed with a Windows VM. Sorry I can't be of assistance.

OK. I'll try to create OpenSuse VM next. Does networking
(Lan and wifi) work in a Linux VM?

So far my impression about VirtualBox hasn't changed. It
works OK, but not great. One big problem is drag-n-drop
from host to guest OS doesn't work. There still seems to
be a gap between VirtualBox and VMPlayer. But the
portability of VirtualBox is certainly nice.
