 ==== Setup Network Adapters ====
+In our setup, we'll allocate the IP address 172.20.20.2 as our local access address, you could of course choose whatever fits your personal configuration requirements.\\
+On the first launch of our VM, an arbitrary DHCP address will be allocated to it's first interface, to find out its address, login to the VM using the regular VirtualBox window and type:
+<code>
+> ip addr show
+: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
+    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
+    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
+    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
+       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000
+    link/ether 08:00:27:55:21:b7 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
+    inet 10.0.7.61/24 brd 10.0.7.255 scope global eth0
+    inet6 fe80::a00:27ff:fe55:21b7/64 scope link
+       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
+: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN qlen 1000
+    link/ether 08:00:27:6e:8b:7d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
+</code>
+This will indicate the allocated DHCP address for your VM, here 10.0.7.61.
+From there you might want to use a terminal emulator to access the VM as it will usually be easier to use than the standard VM screen that has no scroll back and copy/paste functionality for example.
+Let's now fix the secondary (local) IP address, to this purpose, let's modify the // /etc/network/interfaces // file:
+<code>
+> nano /etc/network/interfaces
+</code>
