[dundee] Linux virtual machines in Windows XP

[Daniel Lamb]

Gordon, from my experiences with Virtualbox it does the same as qemumanager
and qemu I would presume by using nat, with both qemumanager and virtualbox
you only need to add a nat device if you want to access the virtual machine
eg transfer files, but only using it for internet etc I find it does work
"straight out the box".

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.
