Thanks for the coherent and on-point analysis.

The aspect of bridged network setup is exactly what I was assuming is
going on with VBox, during my ramble in my original post. (The
parenthesised aspect near the bottom.)
As I was saying then, this is the only way to get the guests to talk to
each other, and the host, while using virtualbox for desktop
virtualization.
So, I guess I will just have to get this same network setup on this
virtualization host, manually.
Thanks for the update, it is very helpful, because while I had an
assumption that your solution what the case, I hadn't thought about the
technique to set it up yet.
Thanks for the head start.
