Shared folders for Windows 7 Beta guest in Virtualbox 2.1.4

I found the trick here. I have tried it and it's work for me. My machine is Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex which running Virtualbox 2.1.4

- open Regedit (as administrator)
- navigate to this key and change the value to 0 (zero): HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet001\Services\VBoxGuest\Start
- reboot the Windows 7 guest
- create a shared folder
- Navigate to (or map to a letter) \\vboxsvr\SHARENAME

[Solved] Can't connect with wired DHCP enabled ADSL router in Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10)

I got a problem that my Intrepid can't connect with wired DHCP enabled ADSL router, which it works fine with other machines running Windows XP

After googling awhile, I found this thread Can't connect to internet via ADSL with 8.10. And my problem was solved with the method in it.

I will summarize it here once :

1. Remove the words "interface-mtu" out of /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf

2. Edit /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf and changed managed=false to managed=true.

3. Reboot

done.

hope it's also work with your machine.

How to get USB work in Intrepid

The work around to enable USB in Intrepid is different from Hardy.

The way to do that is to add this below line in the bottom line of /ect/fstab file

#usbfs
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=46,devmode=664 0 0

that is it!
