[server] networking doesn't work when i switch to 'bridged'

Hi all, I'm just getting up and running with ubuntu server in a virtualbox vm. I'm still pretty new, but everyone has been super helpful thus far.

I was recommended in an another thread on ssh to use bridged rather than port forwarding. Hoever when I shutdown my VM and switch my netwroking adapter from NAT to Bridged (called eth0) then start ubuntu server, I have no internet.

I've tried following a few other threads, but my case never quite seems the same.

I ran
Code:

ifconfig >> ~/status
to capture my ifconfig output with NAT and with bridged. I notice my bridged has no 'inet' ?

Code:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 08:00:27:5d:d1:1f         
          inet6 addr: fe80::a00:27ff:fe5d:d11f/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:85 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:26982 (26.9 KB)


lo        Link encap:Local Loopback 
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:65536  Metric:1
          RX packets:96 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:96 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:7520 (7.5 KB)  TX bytes:7520 (7.5 KB)

Any ideas? I'm not sure where to start in a command line only server.
