Network Settings for a VirtualBox on MacBookPro

[MacGru]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup a Debian vm using VirtualBox on my MacBook Pro. I only have Airport setup on my Mac.

I've installed the core debian (CD1) and with GRUB boot master. So, I start the vbox by pressing F12 and login as root. ifconfig only shows the lo.

What should I do in order to give this vbox a static ip or a dhcp ip and be able to access internet so i can use apt-get to install lamp stack. Please help.

stop the machine first, open vm settings and check that the adapter 1 is enabled and bridged to your Airport and you mac is connected.

En1: Airport

try start the machine then. if you still have no connection
as root try this:

#ifconfig eth0 up
#dhclient eth0 (if you have a DHCP router that is)
