[Solved] Bridge Networking on Lubuntu Guest

Post by Drew5316 »

Virtualbox: 4.3.10r93012
Host: Mac OS X 10.8.3
Guest: Lubuntu 14.04 LTS

Somehow, my network got hosed up. I use to have a Bridged connection to the my Linux guest on my Mac OS X host, but now, when it's in "Bridged" connection, I have no networking at all. Only way I can see to access the Internet is by setting it to NAT, which is not really very good for a system that sometimes acts as a server.

Any thoughts?

Yeah, I went through everything, then opened up another previously working Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon guest, and couldn't get it to reach the network, neither, and I *knew* I hadn't changed anything on it. That lead to the host — or the router, or the cable modem, but let's start with the host. Shut everything down, including the host.

Wait a few minutes.

Booted up, again. Started VMs and Bridged networking was working again.
