VM config question

[Keith Smith]

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.

Keith
