Problems connecting to SQL Server 2000 with Virtual Machine

269 Views Asked by At


I'm writing a program for a commercial company that uses SQL Server 2000 for it's applications.
The problem is that asking them to change to SQL Server 2005/2008 to use with .NET application is very difficult, because they will have to re-write everything. I installed SQL Server 2000 on WinXP with Oracle VirtualBox but other computers do not recognize the server, and cannot even ping to it. Is there a way to make a virtual-machined computer to be recognized on a local network?
