Did you try what I suggested?
Yes, I initially tried but I got confused when most of what I saw were
IPV6 entries.
The /etc/sysconf/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp0s8 files does exist, but
the only entries that I recognize now are BOOTPROTO and ONBOOT;
everything else looks like IPV6.
I'd rather have IPV4 and I'm pretty sure that is what I want to use
from VirtualBox.
I'm not ready to dive into IPV6.
i'd really like to have a compatible and functional set of entries
that are based on IPV4, but if I look at a sample from a long time
ago, I don't know if those entries will still be understood by the
current OS.
I also seem to do much better at home where my VirtualBox host is a
Mac; at work the VirtualBox host is WIndows desktop (one instance) and
a Windows laptop (second instance).
It seems easier to deal with the networking of VirtualBox from the
host (for me) if the host is a Mac.
Anyway, I'd love to be able to ssh into my vm rather than having to
use the console exclusively.
