networking vs. VirtualBox

[Michael Hennebry]

Thanks folks.

Now /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-scripts looks like this:
DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
HWADDR="08:00:27:D2:4E:D1B"
NM_CONTROLLED="yes"
ONBOOT="yes"
to match that of my host system.
Previously, BOOTPROTO was not there and ONBOOT was "no".
I also used
chkconfig --add network
to start the network service.

I now have a guest that can be pinged from outside its host.
