In what context do you see this error message? On the host? (I note that you posted the question in the "OS X Hosts" forum).

Since the problem is on the guest, moving from "OSX Hosts" to "Linux Guests".

What's the network configuration? VM Settings » Network » Adapter 1 » Attached to. What's this set at? Set it to NAT and see what you get.

From the guest, post the output of the commands:
  • 
    ifconfig /a
    nmcli d show
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
