Hi ,
I originally hijacked a thread
2369924
that was vaguely similar to what I am experiencing, but a kind forum moderator has split my question away because hijacking someone else's issue is poor forum etiquette.
Here is what I posted:

I tried to follow your last thread however it is still unable to reach outside web. I have a question on how you configured Vbox network adapter, from file/preferences/network, I created a new host-only adapter. There are 2 tabs on this (one for Adapter) and (one for DHCP server). What were the values you used for each of these tabs?
Then, what were the exact settings you used for the guest setup before starting the VM. you can right click on the chosen VM and select settings/network , and from here you are given several adapter tabs. of course by default adapter 1 is set to NAT. Though many of the options for Adapter 2 seem to become pre-populated once you set it to host-only. Are these ok, are do these values need to be modified also. (this would be the advanced button. Adapter Type, Promiscuous mode, Mac, Cable connected
OK, so if we can get the above details, then My last question is did you enable 2 adapters inside the guest vm after you boot up the os. Did you enable the 1st to be NAT and 2nd to be static at the OS level? How did you acheive this. I have been trying for several days now... I cannot get this to work. What was the gateway address and static config settings? IP, subnet, gatway, or dhcp for the 1st ... ?
my requirements are:
assign the guest vm a static IP
reach the host from the guest via terminal
reach the guest from the host via cmd line
reach the internet from the guest
Thank you so much for putting the time into this !
