I've set up VirtualBox to run WinXP as a guest with Arch as the host and would like to set up my network so that the guest WinXP shows up as another computer on the LAN.
I followed the instructions for building a bridge and got that to work fine as far as having the guest join the network. Another Windows box on the network can see the guest. But, when I set up the bridge and launch VirtualBox, I can no longer access the Arch host by name. I can ping both the host and the guest from other machines on the LAN and I can access the Arch host using it's IP address, but not by name.
Nmblookup doesn't find the host (called dt2-linux with IP of 192.168.1.200)
# nmblookup home
querying home on 192.168.1.255
192.168.1.210 home<00> ## the winxp guest running in VirtualBox on Arch
192.168.1.100 home<00> ## another WinXP box on the LANBut, smbclient does find the appropriate shares on dt2-linux
smbclient -L dt2-linux

HOME DT1Any ideas what is causing this? I'm not sure if it's a basic network problem or perhaps a Samba issue. Results of ifconfig, /etc/hosts/ and /etc/samba/smb.conf are below just in case that would be useful.
Thanks in advance. TWH
