You need to be in "Bridged Adapter" mode for the guests to each get their own DHCP'd (or statically assigned) address. At which point, BOINCTasks from some other machine will be able to talk directly to your guests like you want.
    I changed it from NAT to Bridged and rebooted VB and BM. I pinged the linux host and it now shares my network. I have internet connection via the browser, but BM refuses to connect. I reinstalled VB. I reinstalled BM. Neither helped the connection for BM. I Did Not reinstall the guest host. So, the network connection problem seems to be isolated to BM only. Any ideas on what I'm overlooking now.
