I run win7 64bit HOST OS and don't have any trouble at all with networking. I do have a generic caution though. It seems to me that the various drivers implemented may have to be changed when you change HOST OSes or even between VBOX updates. I've seen some flaky stuff over time. Try a bridged adapter first. Does that work? If it does you know that the guest supports the driver being emulated by vbox. If not, try a different card emulation mode. Once you get a vbox guest working in bridged mode, now branch out and try other network setups. As you go through this process keep good notes, they will help you understand exactly what problem you are facing, and in turn help us help you faster.
