+Running Toaster in VirtualBox
+=============================
+
+Toaster is launched via the command in VM:
+
+    $ source toaster start webport=<IPADDR:PORT>
+
+The interaction with Toaster web server is done via a host internet
+browser.
+The particular steps depend on the actual networking being used
+by the VirtualBox.
+
+
+Bridged Network
+===============
+
+Find out your VM network IP address:
+
+    $ ifconfig
+
+IP address is listed under eth0 inet addr.
+It should be something like:
+   inet addr:192.168.1.18
+
+Launch the Toaster web server in VM:
+
+    $ source toaster start webport=192.168.1.18:8000
+
+Interact with the Toaster web server with your host browser using URL:
+
+    http://192.168.1.18:8000
+
+
+NAT Network
+===========
+Find out your VM network IP address:
+
+    $ ifconfig
+
+IP address is listed under eth0 inet addr.
+For NAT network it should be something like:
+   inet addr:10.0.2.15
+
+When using NAT network, the VM web server can be accessed using
+Port Forwarding.
+
+Using the VirtualBox GUI, navigate to:
+    Settings->Network->Adapter1
+
+You should set:
+    Attached to: NAT
+
+Select "Advanced", click on "Port Forwarding"
+
+This will open a new dialog box "Port Forwarding Rules".
+Create a new rule that looks like this:
+
+| Name  | Protocol | Host IP | Host Port | Guest IP | Guest Port |
++-------+----------+---------+-----------+----------+------------+
+| Rule1 | TCP      |         | 8000      |          |  8000      |
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Now we can launch the Toaster web server in VM:
+
+    $ source toaster start webport=10.0.2.15:8000
+
+Interact with the Toaster web server with your host browser using URL:
+
+    http://127.0.0.1:8000
+
