= Configure the hda =
First, configure your amahi install in the usual way at the [http://www.amahi.org/user control panel]. You must use the IP address of the VirtualBox "Host only" interface as your gateway (in my case, 192.168.56.1). You can also set the dhcp to a single start/end address(i.e. 192.168.56.10). This will ensure your VM has only one possible IP and that will be the one you add to the profile.
If you have already have Amahi on your network, you might wish to consider changing the home domain to something other than home.com.
