How to setup Windows client and Linux server (VirtualBox) on my laptop?

[Jirong Hu]

Hi

I am trying CVS. My plan is install CVS server on Linux and use it from Windows 
client. The Linux server is a Mandriva Linux 2009 installed in a VirtualBox on 
my Windows Vista laptop downloaded from here: 
http://virtualboximages.com/Mandriva-Linux-Free-KDE-2009.1-Beta. Then I 
installed CVS from Linux's Configure Your Computer/Install and Remove Software. 
The CVS server seems working fine on Linux.

Now how can I use CVS from my host machine, which is a Windows Vista? Below is 
the Linux IP address on the VirtualBox. The external Internet address is: 
99.237.168.113. I got it from www.whatismyip.com. This is the same ip address 
as the host, my Windows Vista.

address@hidden CVSROOT]# /sbin/ifconfig  
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 08:00:27:A0:73:9D
