VB can run Server 2008. The network settings all depend on the type of network you're using for the Guest. If you select NAT, then it must be DHCP enabled.

Am i correct that the Guest is the OS that is running in the virtualbox and the host is my XP pc

My XP pc is running on DHCP from a standard ADSL router if that helps

So what's your point? I just gave you the answers. Get some more knowledge about general networking and you know what you need to do and set.
