"access" is a bit too vague... e.g. you could access any other computer via HTTP or SSH or any other protocol -- those connections should be forwarded by virtualbox and we do not configure any internal to the VM firewall which would forbid that. > We tried the Device/Shared Folder route, and we can see/mount the network > from there but it’s failing to mount in the terminal.

Can this be done and > how? so -- you are trying to setup access to the remote file systems exposed on the network as smb shares (use smbclient) and/or afp shares (personnally had no experience with those, but may be smth like http://stackoverflow.org/wiki/Mount_an_AFP_share_from_Linux could be of reasonable approach)? if you post specific error msgs you receive in the terminal -- share those, may be we could then help out to unravel them. alternatively, you could also try using sshfs to "mount" remote file systems through the SSH -- there is some performance penalty but there are pros (as secure as your accounts there are/user access control etc). Usage is very simple, e.g. $> sshfs neurodebian:www/debian /tmp/mirror $> ls /tmp/mirror dists/ extracts/ pool/ robots.txt vm/ ;-) -- Yaroslav O.
