[SGVLUG] VirtualBox networking question

[Claude Felizardo]

I believe there are a couple of people on this mailing list who are using
VirtualBox or equiv...

Has anyone setup a VirtualBox guest machine so it can access the internet
but can not access the host's local network?  Basically create a network
sandbox.

For example, let's say I want to verify that an internal web server can NOT
be accessed from the internet yet I want to be able to access it from my
desktop and I don't have access to a machine outside my network to test
from.  So using VirtualBox, I created a virtual machine running Ubuntu.
 When I bring up a browser, I'm able to access a web server as if I was
connecting directly from my desktop.  I want to configure this virtual
machine so it has an IP address outside my local network.

Any suggestions?  Tried googling but either it can't do it or I'm just not
using the right keywords.
