Problem connecting to network

Post by gini_2007 »

I have Virtual Box installed in my laptop (on Windows 7 platform).
However the guest OS in the VB itself is Linux (CentOS 6.6). I am not able to connect to the network. The current option selected to connect the VB network to the laptop network is NAT.
And the BOOTPROTO option in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 is "dhcp".

What could be the problem?
