I re-visited The RHEL study material and setup the environment again, noted down the procedure.
1, copied the *.VDI (RHEL6STD.VDI and RHEL6-STUDENT.VDI) file from Lenovo ThinkPad T400 to my new Lenovo ThinkPad X1, Crea Ted the new machine is importing the *.VDI, no need to install the system again.
2, setup the network at Linux instructor and Linux Student
In VirtualBox Manager, file->preferences...->network, to create "VirtualBox host-only Ethernet Adapter #2" and "Virt Ualbox host-only Ethernet #3 ".
The Adapter #2 leave it as default,
The Adapter #3 set as below, server address allocated as 192.168.18.100, server mask as 255.255.255.0, address range as 19 2.168.18.101 ~ 192.168.18.254:
In Linux-student->machine->settings, set as below,
In Linux-instructor->machine->settings, set as below,
In Windows, the network configuration as below,
Network configuration on Linux-instructor, as I cloned the machine, I didn ' t change anything and tried to test the network Connection, but failed, the configuration as below,

Bringing up interface Eth0:device eth0 does no seem to be present, delaying initialization.
Bringing up interface Eth1:device eth0 does no seem to be present, delaying initialization.
As below,
Delete the File/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, by commands:
mv 70-persistent-net.rules 70-persistent-net.rules.bak
reboot
Encountered below problems,
The mac_address in the Ethernet configuration file as required, by commands,
ifconfig -a #this is to get the MAC address of the etho0
vim /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 #modify the MAC address in the configuration file
service network restart
For the Linux-instructors network configuration, I configured all and I am not sure which the file makes it work.
Network configuration on Linux-student, as below,
[[email protected] Desktop]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=192.168.0.101
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
GATEWAY=192.168.0.254
TYPE=Ethernet
DNS1=192.168.0.254
IPV6INIT=no
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=no
and by command
setup
In "Device Configuration", "Eth0 (eth0)-Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller"
/etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop
chkconfig NetworkManager off
service network restart
3, testing the result from Linux-student and Linux-instructor
The connection from Linux-student as Linux-student, Linux-instructor->window host-> Internet, testing ping 8.8. 8.8, ping instructor.example.com, Ping 192.168.0.254, all successful,
The connection from Linux-instructor as, linux-student-Linux-instructor->window host-> Internet, testing ping 8.8.8.8, Ping 192.168.0.101, all successful,
4, installation of VirtualBox additions (vboxadditions_4.3.12_93733), and configure the share the folder between the wind oWS and Linux
