Replying directly from GMail because I got as far as "this next
command shuts down your LAN service" and it was right ...

Couple of (I hope) quick questions regarding bridge setup:

1.  The (K)ubuntu setup instructions recommend setting up a static IP.
 I am a /bit/ confused here as to which machine is getting the static
IP; the hardware Linux box or the VirtualBox.  In other words, do I
put in the IP of the real PC or do I increment it by some amount to
indicate a new / separate / different box on the same LAN?

2.  The information in /etc/network/interfaces currently lists the LAN
as 127.0.0.1 and am I correct in believing that I must replace this
with the static IP address, netmask, etc?

3.  Finally, I have a wired router and an NTT ADSL modem in my setup.
Is the gateway address the address of the modem (192.168.1.1) or the
first position on the router (192.168.11.1)?  I am embarrassed to say
I have it both ways on the three boxes in this LAN ... which means I
misread something somewhere but forget which things I read when I last
configured.
