My network settings which I have been using since 3.1X of virtualbox is this Host-Only nic: Intel Pro 1000/MT Server Host: Mac osx and Windows xp This allows the host to drawterm to the virtual machine. I failed to get it to work as NAT or Bridge. Running the nic as host only is ok if you just want to run plan9 without internet access. I hope you get NAT or host running. It would be nice.
