Setup

Ubuntu Server 11.10 x64
VirtualBox 4.1.12
One network adapter eth0 with a static IP address

My /etc/network/interfaces looks like

    #Local loopback
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback

    #Primary Interface
    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet static
        address 10.0.0.6
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 10.0.0.1

Need

Static IP for Ubuntu Host

Static IP for multiple Ubuntu guests

My attempt

Downloaded the .deb for 64bit virtual box
dpkg -i virtualbox.deb
Create a VM and install ubuntu server 11.10 x64 from ISO
Set the networking mode to bridged and choose 'eth0' as the interface
Fail.

None of the guides I can find for bridged networking work because everything changed since vbox 2
