Default Virtualbox Bridge

Virtualbox 2.2.4 Fedora 11 on Suse 11.1 host

My LAN consists of a laptop and several pc's connected via a router to the net. It uses dhcp mostly for networking. The network address can be the same if you switch off one box and start another. That same address is retrieved from the router.

I would like to set up some static address for virtualbox distros. To do this I have to bridge the eth device on my Suse box, and then pick this as the network device in Virtualbox Settings. If I set up a bridge in Yast Networking I have to change the eth1 (connected to the net) address to 0.0.0.0

My question is, will this stuff up my existing network ? Will it stop my Suse box from accessing the net ?
