Hi Rocky: Sorry about your problem. I always enjoy challenges but can just not guess what it could be as I have never seen or had to resolve this situation before. Doug seemed to find some reference to the supplied IP address but there may be some solutions along with the issues...I suspect an unusual piece of NIC hardware...what type of computer is it? Other than that, good luck.

I'm going to switch to VM Ware and see if it's more plug 'n' play than the Virtual Box.

From then on it should be just easy to modify your required address. An IP address would not have appeared if it did not find the network card. The IP address appeared to be the address of your ISP, taken from your router. If you want a new address, I would just goes into OS network setting change it, reboot and/or at the command prompt enter something like: ipconfig /release & ipconfig /renew Or are there more issues? Have you ask your son yet? ;-)... If I run into problems I may pose it to one of my daughters or SiL.

Any opinions on VM Ware or Windows Virtual PC as an alternative?

I used Oracle's VM Virtual Box to create a 2007 machine. But I cannot remember how I got it to 'see' the DVD drive on my comp - the host. Obviously, I did it because I set up a virtual machine with Office 2007, but dipped if I can remember how and get it done for 2010 and 2013. Can someone give me a lead on this?
