What is the magic formula for doing networking

So far, the only way I've been able to make it work at all is
to install a graphical version and click on the networking icon.
That doesn't work if I do a minimal install.
What does?

I saved this link because I've been meaning to test "VBoxManage..."
but haven't yet. Maybe it'll help:

and for networking:

Thanks, but I think that my VirtualBox settings are correct:
I can make networking work if I install a graphical desktop.
What I can't seem to find is the guest's (Fedora 14's)
command-line on-switch for networking.
I don't understand why this is hard.
