Can't access Internet on any of my guest OS's

Host: Win XP Pro w/ VirtualBox 2.2
Guest OS: Win 2000 & Win Vista

I can't get any internet access in my virtualbox guests. On my host pc, the Virtual Box Host-Only Network driver won't pickup an address via DHCP, so I tried giving it one manually but it still wouldn't work.

Any ideas on where I should start?

Read the (new) manual, Host only means no internet for the Guests.

I did look at the manual, and I have this setup to use NAT, but it doesn't seem to work.

I just deleted all the Host-Only network interfaces, but the NAT still doesn't work....

Thats because NAT with 2.2 is bugged, you have to set Guest IP manually to what VBox would hand out.
