Virtual woes!

Hey can I use internet connection while using ubuntu 10.04 in Sun virtualbox?
Please explain it!

Right click on ubuntu, select setting, navigate to networking, select NAT you're done.
Now just connect your desktop to Internet and it will be automatically connected.

Thanks for that! Any ideas about how to use usb drives in virtualbox?

If you are using Virtual Box 3.2.4 and above, just start your virtual ubuntu and connect usb drive to a usb port, it will get detected automatically in ubuntu.
