Issue with DNS using VirtualBox and the SharePoint 2010 VHD

After many hours of trying and reading I finally stumbled across an article that described my problem and solution.
Thanks very much Edward http://microsoftdevguy.blogspot.com/2011/05/sharepoint-demo-image-gets-error.html
It seems that trying to follow the MS Install guide didn't quite work and after you successfully run the image, the only site you can hit is CA. After following Edwards article and just using a Bridged Adapter and an available IP address in the Host networks range, then modifying the Guest adapter and DNS entries, viola! Magic!

SharePoint 2010 - User Profile Sync Issues

Tricky topic, heaps of articles out there, but...

Make sure that both FIM services are started before worrying about any user profile sync issues.

For instance, in the contoso VHD, I added new AD users but they would not sync. When viewing the Sync Connection, there wasn't any. So I tried creating a new one but there were drama's with this which led me to the solution, Make sure the FIM services are running. As soon as these services are running, the sync connection will be displayed in CA.
