Ok. This is one area where googling may get you into trouble. Some of the posts re Vbox Networking may not apply to the most recent release - leading me down the wrong path.
I will look again at host only networking.
Ok if you choose the Host-Only Adapter in Settings > Network,it creates the vboxnet0 interface, and assigns a network address. I can ping this on my Suse Host.
I am not sure how to use this interface in the Virtual Machine. Does this become my ip address ? And does vboxnet0 become the ethernet device in the virtual machine ?
