Default How to access Vmbox on Local network to host?

Trying to run a headless vmbox on my debian machine, how do I access it over the local network from the host?

It's pretty simple just make sure the server boots with a network adapter recognised, on linux that should be the default behaviour. Then you just need to ensure that the vmbox is configured to operate as a bridge.

Next just run the ifconfig command and you will see the local IP. Now ping that from the host and your done.

To get it to work with the external network you must setup the NAT at the router level so it gets it's own local IP. Then you can route the port 80 to that IP.
