how do i connect to my ubuntu server over my wifi

[LabR@t]

I have ubuntu running in a virtual box on my main pc how do i go about connecting to it from my netbook which is also running ubuntu.

i have lamp running on the main pc and would like to mess about with the msql server from my netbook whilst i am on the netbook over my wifi network for now and possible over the net at a later date.


I am completely new to this networking malarkey as you can tell .

any good tutorials or advice guys?
