Can't get Internet connectivity on NAT or bridged mode

Post by chungliwen »

Hi,

I'm a newbie and managed to get a downloaded Ubuntu installation (from OSBoxes) up and running. But it seems that even on NAT or bridged mode, I can't seem to get internet connectivity. Would anybody be able to help me figure out what's going wrong?

If you don't know, you should ask OSBoxes how their guest is configured. For example, is the network cable connected? Otherwise download an Ubuntu ISO and see if you still have the problem.

If you want to continue this discussion you'll need to provide a ZIPPED VBox.log from a complete VM run.

Ah, ok. I downloaded the OSBoxes because I was having trouble getting the normal installation working. I'll give it another go with a fresh Ubuntu ISO then.

Ok, will check out the Vbox.log method.

Sorry about the image. I was trying to copy out the text, but I couldn't get the Guest Additions to work (I'm pretty new at this), so I couldn't figure out a better way to share.

Thanks again!
