macOS Catalina not connecting to Internet

Post by SirDarknight »

I have literally tried everything. The network is working fine on other VMs (Linux Mint, ParrotOS etc.) but when I boot into macOS, it shows "Cable Unplugged".

The network settings currently is:

Attached To: NAT
Adapter Type: Intel PRO 1000 MT Desktop (82540EM)
Promiscuous Mode: Grayed out

I tried changing the Adapter Type to PCnet-FAST III and I have tried Bridged Adapter but the results were the same.

Well, you might not thank me so fast...
Seems you're running a Mac guest on a Windows host. As far as I know this is only allowed when you're using Apple hardware. I don't know if the log shows whether the hardware is real Apple. If this is a typical Windows PC, then it's against Apple's EULAs to run a Mac guest, see OSX guests on non-Apple hardware. Unfortunately Virtualbox can't help folks break a Eula, the lawyers would eat us alive.

It's not an Apple host.

OSX guests are only supported on Apple hardware (which you do not have). I recently made the "OSX guests on non-Apple hardware" a Global post, which means it shows as first on every forum area, makes me wonder how come you missed it... :roll:

Also, consider changing your favorite internet search engine. There should be plenty of results about this issue on these forums (all of them locked, hoping that someone will get the hint), but the search engine you're using now, does not seem to return any results for some reason.

Moving to "OSX Guests" from "Windows Hosts".
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
