FWIW, I use these network settings. There are a number of different  
ways to get a working network, but this one seemed closest equivalent  
to being 'just another laptop on the network'.

One thing to note, is that VirtualBox does not represent wireless  
interfaces specially as wireless interfaces. It just treats them like  
a wired ethernet connection. No big downsides to this, but you will  
see the Sugar frame showing a "Wired Network" icon, and you will not  
see any wireless access points showing up in the Neighbourhood view ?  
you need to be correctly connect to your network access point over in  
OS X.
