Error 101 ubuntu server cannot connect to internet

Post by heenl »

I installed ubuntu server 14.04 on virtual box and installed LAMP, webmin and FTP then suddenly i could not install any thing else because the initiation to connect to is not happening.

the error that I get is
connect(101 network is unreachable)
I am using bridged adpter with wlan. I don't have a firewall. My host machine is ubuntu 14.04 and apt-get update is working fine there. I have a wifi connection.

Wifi bridging is not always working, it's a 50% chance of working. Try with wired and see if that works.

If you want to keep using wireless, you would need to set them to NAT yes.

Thanks this helped however I ran into another problem now I installed guest edition for the server using the following tutorial
http://en.ig.ma/notebook/2012/virtualbo ... ntu-server

everything worked fine until the end until I reboot my computer Now i cannot connect via ethernet at all. Even when VirtualBox is not running on my computer. I uninstalled Guset edition I am able to connect to wifi now but nno ethernet. I think may be problem was that this tutorial was for windows host while I have a ubuntu host machine. How can I fix this now? Would uninstalling Virtualbox altogather help?

Guest additions should be installed.... in the guest and not in the host!
