I find Linux guests work best with a Bridged Network setup instead of NAT... I had many update issues even with older VirtualBox versions when doing updates with a NAT network setup for the VirtualBox. It was just painfully slow and would often just seem to hang forever. Switching to bridged made them all happy... for what it's worth...

On the other hand installing v3.0.0 Guest Additions onto my Linux Guest OS's bungled the display 100% of the time so I reverted and they are all still running the 2.2.2 guess additions inside the gust just fine now with Vbox 3.0.0.
