Bridged networking makes the guest behave like another physical installation
with respect to networking.  If your network doesn't have a DHCP server then
for DHCP to work one is required.  You don't need DHCP for networking
however, you could simply assign static addresses.

In NAT mode, VirtualBox provides it's internal DHCP server.

When running dhclien em0, the results are similar to the DHCPDISCOVER
