Ok the title is not so clear after all, so let's start with the problem description posting some points:

i'm on Win Vista
i have a Virtual Box Ubuntu 9.04 server (Virtual Machine) installed
in windows i'm under Active Directory (maybe helps), with network 192.168.2.x

After Ubuntu installation (LAMP), i have:

Ubuntu Ip set to 10.0.2.15 (dhcp)
Vista pings Ubuntu and Ubuntu pings Vista (only IPs, not names)
Can't connect to Apache (default install ubuntu server) at the url h**p://10.0.2.15/
On Ubuntu, testing Apache by doing 'wget http://10.0.2.15/' works
Tried to setup samba, writing a share def, but nothing, i can't access from Vista to Ubuntu

My scope is:

Setting up samba to work on files from windows
Reaching apache to test web pages

Ok i'm not completely noob (but i'm on the noob way anyway) and i've tried many solutions, so please try to help me; let's look together what went wrong :)
