You can set up the networking to bridge to the host OS's connection,

I'm not a network guy, so sorry if my explanation is rubbish :)
Nope, makes perfect sense. Question: can you do both?
That's how I have my virtualBox setup. It gets 2 adapters. Adapter 1
is a bridge to the host OS's connection - and I don't run any servers on
that interface. Adapter 2 is an internal adapter is an internal only
virtual network. My host system has a virtual adapter connected to it,
and every VM I run will also get a virtual adapter connected to it.
Mainly this means I can have everything up and running regardless of the
status of my "real" network as my virtual network is always running.
