Did you ensure that the guest's networking cable was connected? With
vboxmanage, you'd specify this as:

vboxmanage modifyvm vm_name -cableconnected1 on

where vm_name is the name of your vm. I don't know how you'd do that
in the gui.

 In either case setting it up static as I did should work too.

I'm not so sure about that. I don't know how the vbox nat code works,
but it's possible that vbox will not shuttle traffic between the guest
and host, unless its built-in dhcp server assigns an ip to the guest
first. This is just speculation though, and it may be totally wrong.

I don't know about that.
