Virtualbox Networking (1) - NAT

I had a bunch of problems trying to understand the networking options on VIRTUALBOX. There is lots written about it, but very little to say... do this...

So when you what to get on the network to use Firefox....

1. Create a NAT Network. Before starting the VM, goto Settings, Network, then enable one of the Adaptors and attached to NAT.
2. Start the VM
3. Log in as root
4. goto System > Administration > Network
5. Create or edit one of the Devices eth0, eth1 etc. Ethernet, the eth0 etc should match the adaptor you chose in step 1
6. Choose DCHP. This is the key. Don't try to manually set any of the ip values.

This should be all you need to piggy back your PCs internet.
