I regret, I do not understand these instructions.
I do not understand the VirtualBox network settings about 'bridged' and
static IP. Is there an example on a website I can read?

 while I can see in the CentOS root account "/etc/hosts" in a text
editor, I really do not know what should be added, or what it looks like
after adding.
I also tried adding it to my Linux Box "etc/hosts" file in OpenSUSE but
to no avail, presumably this is due to the 'bridged adapter' thing?
