It was a struggle to find the right way to install VurtualBox on Mint 17 KDE. It is working now and I was able to get the bridging working. I removed the Nat config. I hope that will not cause me any future problems. I can ping the VM from outside and can ping the outside from the VM and I can see the default welcome web page from outside. Thank you everyone for all your help!! I'm sure I will have many more questions.
