[WorksForMe] network not working on Linux Mint Guest

[harald1]

host: Win 7
guest Linux Mint 18 Sarah

I have tried everything I found on the web but it is still not working.

I tried to set autoneg to off with ethtool, but the setting is not changing. Restarted the interface (worked with ifconfig, ifup and ifdown return 'unknown interface').
With 'sudo nano /etc/rc.local' I have set autoneg to off and speed to 100. As you can see below, it says 'Link detected yes'
I have switched between NAT and bridged and rebooted a lot of times , at bridged I used the option promiscuous mode off and 'allow vms'.
I have set DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.

Nothing of this worked, it still does not get internet.. I have ran out of ideas and would appreciate any hints what else can be tried to get the internet working on the guest VM.


Here is information about the network interface on the guest :

/sbin/ifconfig -a

I managed to resolve it after a lot of searching and testing. It had to do with proxy settings.

Glad you got it going. Marking as [WorksForMe].
