The bridged connection will have its own IP on the network. In the guest you configure the interface just as you normally would using the OS. Externally, or to the host, there isn't much to do except for telling VBox to bridge the connection. It will handle it on that side, and again, just configure the guest as you would were it on its own hardware.

I've got virtualbox 2.2 running on my ubuntu 9.04 and have a debian lenny as guest. Network is configured as Network Bridged because i wanna use that guest to launch services inside. There is also a parameter called "name" where i can choose "eth0", "eth1", "pan0". I don't know if it's relevant, but i chose eth1. Then, how should i configure the guest (is a debian) to being able to use an internet connection? I mean the file /etc/network/intefaces and then if there's another config file that i need to touch before get the connection working. If u need more data, please, lemme know. Regards! PS: if u have any tutorial about that i'd be so thankful. i've found lots talking about tap interfaces but i don't think it would be necessary. -- Matías D. Adés
