[Yoram Halberstam]

Ok, here is when Linux loose me! NEver had to comand line anything on
Windows so thanks for hinting me toward the solution.

I've tried the command and got

[root at desktop eclipse]# VBoxManage modifyvm "desktop.lan" --bridgeadapter1
eth0
VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 2.2.4

ERROR: Could not find a registered machine named 'desktop.lan'
Details: code VBOX_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND (0x80bb0001), component VirtualBox,
interface IVirtualBox, callee nsISupports
Context: "FindMachine(Bstr(a->argv[0]), machine.asOutParam())" at line 853
of file VBoxManageModifyVM.cpp

desktop.lan is what I get when I type hostname....
