Windows XP Host, Full screen and Direct Network connection

[David]

Hi, it seems that there is a bug when Network is directly attached to the physical adapter of the host: the full screen mode of the guest is only possible in low resolution : eg my desktop can display in 1400x900 but when using host interface for network config,I can only display in 1200x800 mode inside the host. Reverting back to NAT fix the issue.

Cheers,

I highly doubt that the network interface does somehow influence the maximum resolution you can select for a guest. I rather assume that you mixed different VMs. Please have a look at the user manual of VBox 3.1.6, section 9.4.3. Please reopen if this problem is still reproducible with VBox 3.1.6.
