anchor.diff:  2. Adapter 2 - Host-only Adapter - IPv4 Address: 192.168.59.100
   3. Adapter 3 - NAT Network, Network CIDR: 10.0.2.0/24

  -The first Ethernet adapter (the listing has them in reverse order) is the bridged adapther, and the ip address should be addressible from any system on the same network.  From the host OS you should be able to successfully ping it:
  +On the host OS, test the network connection:
   
  -```
   js-macbook-pro:~ sellis$ ping 9.32.70.228
   PING 9.32.70.228 (9.32.70.228): 56 data bytes
   64 bytes from 9.32.70.228: icmp_seq=0 ttl=128 time=0.375 ms

    * Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    * Default gateway: 192.168.59.1
    
  Restart the Windows VM and invoke ipconfig once again from the command line:

  **Host-Only Adapter**
  
  _Note that there are issues with this setup that need to be worked out if you desire a static ip address_
  
  The second Ethernet adapter is the Host-only adapter, and as you can see the ipv4 address assigned to it is not the one we specified in VirtualBox settings.  We specified that it should be _192.168.59.100_, but here it has been assigned _169.254.235.184_.  This is only important when a static ip address is necessary for consistency.  The link to network settings above explains in more detail, but the link does not show how to establish a static ip address in Windows (instead it describes the process for RedHat Linux).
