Gentoo2008 minimal.inst.:Activated host interface, what now?

[me-$-on]

Hello.
I'm running my virtualbox on WindowsXp-Sp2.
After I've downloaded the Gentoo2008 minimal installation disk, i activated the host interface network, specified the ip and started gentoo from the iso-image.
I got to the point, where I had the shell open.
I used ifconfig and specified an ipadress, which MUST be right, but I still cannot ping my host. Neither my guest.
What should I do to correct it ( it's my first time using gentoo, and I wanted to check out its benefits and so on).
THX in advance

Please give full network settings for both Host and Guest system. You must have made a mistake somewhere, like no bridging, or trying to access the host by name.

Thats my host-configuration, if the host-interace is down ( virtual box is not running).

If virtual box is not started, my second tcp-ip-lan connection, which defines the host-interface network, is deactivated.

And that ist my guest system konfiguration from gentoo2007 minmal install cd, when starting it live.

oh, i can't get the infos pasted.
But additional information:
Will I have to install guest-extension-tools?
Because I haven't done this until now.....

All I see is two network adapters, one for internet, the other for stand alone use. If you want to use your internet connection, bridge the two adapters to one, set the proper IP addresses (like you have on your LAN now). Set the same kind of info in your Gentoo Guest and it should all work. Keep in mind that bridging only works with LAN adapters, not wireless. But as you are using a Realtek card, I doubt it's wireless (would be awesome though, as I have the same kind of NIC in my laptop ).

ps.

is it coded in java, in general?

Are you joking? Java isn't that fast and it uses lots of memory. If you checked the code, you would see that it has .cpp extensions, meaning it's written in C++.

[me-$-on]

the sources yet.
And because it is really slow on my machine, i supposed it would be written in java.
Normally this would not be a good idea, to write such a tool in java.
Why does every joboffer demand java and jsp and j2ee skills, if this technique is slow?
I don't understand their definition of future ( although being cross-plattform compatible) it is too slow.
Strange people.
Ok, i will look and try to bridge that network device 2 to my networtk device 1 and look for some how-to's in here.

-Addition:
( but from gentoo i cannot ping the first nor the second eth)

Do you have a firewall running on your Guest? By default, the Windows Firewall blocks ICMP traffic.
