virtualbox.org

I am new to virtualization, VirtualBox and Linux. I have VirtualBox 4.2.1 on a Mac OS X 10.7.5 system. I have a minimum system CentOS 6.3 installed. Installation of VirtualBox and CentOS were relatively painless. The Mac is wireless to a home DSL modem/router; no cables in the back.

I cannot reach the network with CentOS. I have two VirtualBox network adapters configured, first NAT, second Bridged Adapter, en1: Wi-Fi (AirPort). I had the adapters configured before installing CentOS from an iso file.

I have been googling and experimenting for quite awhile now. My guess is that there is a configuration problem on the CentOS side, but I'm climbing a steep learning curve from the bottom.

Any guidelines? If you just send me to places to read that would be fine.

Thanks, Trask

try googling how to get started with centos-minimal; network isn't configured in minimal.
