How do I connect to my windows server 2008 hosted on a virtual box?

Question

Hello!

I've hosted Windows Server 2008 Enterprise on a virtualbox and set up IIS7 with ASP.NET. Now I wonder what I have to do to be able to connect to the virtualbox from the computer I'm running the virtualbox on?

I tried entering the ip supplied by ipconfig from inside the box; 10.0.2.15 which doesn't seem to work, like so "http://10.0.2.15". I read something that VirtualBox uses NAT (which I've confirmed is the case), but I don't know what to do about it.

Any ideas?

you need to changed to bridged networking so your host (the computer running virtual box) and guest (windows 2008) will be on the same "network" and see each other.
