Re: Cannot install cygwin on Win XP on VirtualBox

Hi,

I'm running Win XP on VirtualBox on an Ubuntu machine. I'm trying to
install the latest cygwin version (http://cygwin.com/setup.exe). I
started the installation and selected 'Install from Internet'. Then, I
expected to see a list of mirrors but it was empty. If I try the exact
same thing from a real Windows XP machine, everything works fine.

Two questions...


1. Can you ping anything on the internet off your XP under VirtualBox?

2. Are you on a corporate intranet that requires all computers connected
    to it to be some standard corporate distribution of XP?
