Hello All,
My first post here.
I have installed oracle linux 6.5 on my windows 8.1 using oracle vbox.
After the installation I see eth0 is not enabled and now I'm not able to connect to internet.
Its been a while since I did any network configuration in linux hence I need some help here.
Also I think it is something related to virtual box network configurations.
I have tried the NAT(default) and Host-Only Adapter options but with no success.
Also just to be sure I have enabled ONBOOT=yes in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
Any help is really appreciated.
vbox version: 4.3.12
host os: windows 8.1 single language
guest os: oracle linux 6.5
p.s: I have enabled the VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter in windows device manager also have shared the internet from main connection to this network.
Thanks,
Ravi

Re: network problems in guest oracle linux 6.5
Stick with NAT or Bridged. Host-only means host-only ( no Internet )
Run ifconfig -a in the guests terminal to see the status of the adapters.

Re: network problems in guest oracle linux 6.5
thanks for the help.
ifconfig -a showed me eth1.
I copied the configuration of eth0 to eth1 in networking-scripts folder and reverted to NAT in VM network settings.
I'm able to access the internet now.
Thanks,
