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
