Are you firewall free?  If you can't ping the XP instance, you won't be able to ghost it.

<div>
I have the firewall turned off and I have tried to move away from the VirtualBox NAT (10.0.0.x).<br />
<br />
I can ping 127.0.0.1 and surf the net with the virtual box images - but not ping yahoo.com<br />
<br />
I have also tried to bridge with an ip on the 192.x.x.x network, but no luck with pings.<br />
<br />
Virtual PC however can ping my xp box by default.

By default when I setup a VirtualBox XP image the networking is set to PCnet-FAST III. &nbsp;(NAT)<br />
(I also tried to work with the Intel Pro 1000 driver.)<br />
<br />
I have tried to bridge, local network, and can't seem to ping host on my network 192.168.0.x.<br />
(I can use the internet on a virtual machine)<br />
<br />
The goal is to be able to boot to the Ghost client and see the Ghostcast server (host pc) so I can image<br />
a 10G virtual drive set as XP. &nbsp;I have also tried &nbsp;to ghost from an image locally and it hangs after selecting an image from cd.<br />
<br />
I believe once I can get the Ghostcast Server to connect to the host I can continue with no problem.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
