VirtualBox, Linux, ethernet question...

[Yoram Halberstam]

Errrr.... At the risk of being shot I'll say that there a lot of smart and
easy thing on linux compare to windows, installing virtualbox and running
and general gui config are not one of them!

Thanks also, I may not be a wizz kid but I do go on google (and I wouldn't
be there if I found the answers)... anyway all of this to realise that I did
configure everything from the GUI already (I think). I prefer GUI than
command line ;-)

So now I used host -only and I used bridge... both work, (I realised  eth0
was disabled) - with vboxnet0 and eth1 respectively I can communicate back
to the host but not into the virtualbox Suse.... Any hint sir? (I've tried
ssh)
