[SGVLUG] VirtualBox networking question

[Dave <3 Ubuntu]

I havent used VB for a while, but you should be able to make some 
changes in the "settings" of your particular virtualbox drive. Lets say 
you have a "WindowsXP" virtual drive you can highlight it and click 
"settings" (or right click and do settings) and then go to the "Network" 
tab. You should then get a menu for the network settings on that virtual 
drive that you can edit how it connects. I think there is an advanced 
network settings option too. Somewhere in there might give you what you 
are trying to do.
