[ale] Virtual Box network configuration

[TxMoose]

Hey Jeff,

I run in Bridged mode and just have my VM pull a DHCP lease.  Unless 
your network is doing something super wonky where a switch port can only 
have a single MAC coming in, you should be fine.  There's a setting 
within the Windows Adapter settings dialog, though, that you have to 
ensure is checked.  I can't recall off hand right now, but it should 
stand out because it has "virtual box" in the name.

Good luck!

Very respectfully,
