[dundee] Linux virtual machines in Windows XP

[gordon dunlop]

Hi Daniel,
The strange thing is that I did not have to add a tap network device 
using virtualbox, it worked straight out of the box (pardon the pun). It 
was the latest version, maybe something was added in this version to 
allow this, I have read on forums about people having to add a tap 
network device using virtualbox but I found that it just worked.
