Please change your topic title as per Forum Posting Guide. The way it is now, I almost took no look at your post and lock it because the title is non-descriptive.

As for the question itself, did you even bother to read the User Manual? Chapter 6 explains everything you need to know. Hint: Bridged.

You're not making much sense. What do you have now, what do you want and what do you mean by 'remote connection'? There are several 'remote connections' possible with CentOS and VirtualBox.

As for your internet access, just set up the VM to use NAT if you aren't using that already and let it obtain an IP address automatically through DHCP.

Host <> Guest communication can be done by adding a second NIC to the VM and attach it to Host-Only. See the manual chapter 6 for more information.
