I am curently using Windows VIsta 64 bit as the host for virtual box and Ubuntu as the guest. I would like to know what network network method will allow me to ssh to the guest OS (ubuntu) from the host given that a sshd daemon is already setup on the guest.

Thank You
Kenalex

what your looking for is port forwarding which is explained in the user manual under section 6.4.1

In fact, the example they give is how to setup a ssh port forward

You can also use Host Interface Networking (if you want a bridge or not is up to you to decide, it really isn't needed for Host <> Guest communication). However, it could be a bit harder to get it working if Vista is messing with the network again.
