I had a bit of time this weekend, and read a networking book and had an
"aha-moment" with VirtualBox Host Interface Networking... to cut a long
story short, I have vpnc working now. I didn't need wireshark in the end.
Next problem:
The Windows host is sharing folders and a printer. I can see the shared
folders on the Ubuntu guest, but I still can't add the shared printer
(using system-config-printer).... Anyone?
