IP address of vboxsvr?

Here's the short version of the question: What is the IP address of vboxsvr?

Here's the longer version: I'm using Virtual Box on a Suse 10.3 host running an XP guest. I have several partitions on my disk, set up and working in the guest as shares using vboxsvr. I have a program in the XP guest that requires an IP address to access remote servers, even servers that have been mapped in XP. What is the IP address I should use to access the shares through this program?

Thanks!

.
At the command prompt type:

$ sudo ifconfig

The dollar sign should already be there, so you don't have to type that.

It will be the ordinary ip of your host.

As it turns out, I won't be able to do what I'm looking to do, anyway, due to a limitation in the program that I was trying to run in the guest. I have a static IP address on the host, and I know what that is, and I was putting that into the program on the guest and was getting no results. It turns out, it's not because the IP address was wrong, it's a limitation in the program.

Thanks to all.
