I've read the manual a dozen times, and still can't get it. I'd like to set up the guest as web server (apache2), then access that web server (with firefox) on the HOST os. NAT apparently defaults to issue a 10-net address, which doesn't help me at all. Again, I've been through the manual on this and can't figure it out, so please either explain it here or send me to documentation that's clearer and easier to follow than the vb manual.

Re: Simple Normal Basic Networking!?
The easiest way is to switch from NAT to Bridged, if you have router in the network. Then the guest will appear as another PC in the network.
If not then you will need to continue to use NAT and port forward to the guest.
If you just need to access the guest from the host you can use host-only. Then add a second adapter set to NAT if you need Internet access in the guest.
