Hi.  The host & guest should _normally_ be able to talk to one 
another even if the guest can't talk to anything else.  I normally use 
a network bridge for virtual systems and the underlying virtualisation 
logic normally allows the guest and host to talk to each other and every 
other box.

I haven't used VirtualBox but I have used many other virtualisation 
technologies and they have all supported bridging.  Currently I use VMWare 
and OpenVZ.

Cheers,

Rob
