Assuming I have got a DHCP server included in my router do I need to
give it any instructions before bridged will work? Routers and their use
is something I know very little about.

While true, that was not his problem. He already has XP running in VM which
is done so he can play Bridge Baron. His problem is getting an online
connection from his brother's machine to his. With DHCP enabled in his
router and changed to bridged, it ought to do just what he wants.

I am wondering why so many people loading Ubuntu MUST also have
Windows XT or Vista? I should think that if they are not sure they will
like Ubuntu then load Ubuntu in it's own partition and have Grub boot to
it when you want to. All this pain and waste of time on VM seems to
generate many messages on how to get VM working.

Of course my computer has zero Windows and this is because nothing
on windows do I want. It sure makes it cleaner and easy.

Some of us *MUST* keep a Windows installation around for running
programs that are not available in Ubuntu. In particular, I run
Windows XP inside a virtual machine for the express purpose of running
Outlook (LookOut!). I don't think using VMware is a waste of time at
all. Once VMware is set up correctly it works perfectly and allows
extra flexibility that dual-booting can never offer. Different
strokes for different folks.

And to the other poster who had trouble with his wireless connection -
the free VMWare server does not support bridging via wifi interfaces.
This feature might be available in the paid VMWare workstation.

Can I take this slightly OT and ask why you have to use Outlook?

I do the same. However, I do not run Outlook, but use the Evolution
Exchange connector. It works well enough, but there are some problems
with limitations in the Exchage WebDAV API. Hopefully, the Evo folks
will eventually put together a native MAPI interface.

The wireless protocol does not support bridging as I recall. It has to
do with having multiple MAC addresses on a single wireless interface. I
run my VMware instances using NAT which works fine unless you are
running a network service on your Windows instance.

I thought that odd also. Outlook is the very reason I avoid and detest
windoze!

Because some of us receive mail via Exchange, and the frigin' clients won't
let us have either IMAP access or automated forwarding of email... I _can_
access the mail through the Exchange Web interface, but it's the most
painful (and slowest) web interface I've ever used - even worse than
Hotmail.

Aw man, sorry about that, ...I've always used an email client. All the way
back to my C=64 days. Amiga came along and with it YAM. Coming to Linux I
looked for something close to Yam and found claws. Even my filters worked
with it!! Then Kmail started to come along in reasonable usability so I
worked over my filters and went with it. Not as good as Yam but them I no
longer have my 4000. It quit in 2004 after running 24/7 since 1991 as my BBS
computer. Down time in all that time was 43 minutes. Both my Yahoo and
Google accounts work with Kmail downloads and even with the uploads, although
my outgoing mail usually goes out from my ISP's smpt address as it is my
default, I can also smpt through both my yahoo and google accounts with
Kmail. I do not however, appreciate or like the bloated Kontact or Evolution
mega versions using the same basic mailer system. When you attain my age
you like lean and mean!

me too. I've reached the point where I put a KVM switch on my desk at the
client's, and boot up their XP machine solely to check my mail. Anybody I
know there who has _real_ email needs uses a gmail account :-)
