Hi,
I am running into problems with host networking on VBox 2.1.2. My setup is as follows:
Window XP SP2 - host,
Ubuntu 8.10 - guest.
Networking - host interface, have selected the ethernet adapter.
ifconfig in Ubuntu shows up the ip address fine. however, am not able to browse internet or connect to any machine on the network. For e.g., ping www.google.com doesn't get any reply back.
Is there anything else - any setting that I've messed up??
Please help!
Regards,
Radha.

What is your full network config, both Host and Guest.

hate to bump a cold topic, but
I'm having nearly the exact same problem as quoted above. I installed Ubu 8.04 earlier on this box, and was connected to the net for a while, while I wasn't watching the VM. It queried the ubuntu servers and found that there were quite a few upgrades pending (no duh eh?).
So tonight I get home, and want to finish customizing my install, such as auto mouse switching, clipboard, etc.
After I ran the installer for the additions, I no longer had network access. I've tried from both wired (wireless off) and wireless (wired disconnected).
However, I'm only attempting to use NAT, as the other two options don't seem to make sense for me.
For the Ubuntu virt-box, I'm using a straight DHCP config, and this is what it returns:
****@****:~$ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:27:2a:ad:1e
inet addr:10.0.2.15 Bcast:10.0.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::a00
fe2a:ad1e/64 Scope:Link

RX bytes:1386 (1.3 KB) TX bytes:21911 (21.3 KB)
Base address:0xc010 Memory:f0000000-f0020000
and as for my Vista x64 host, I'm looking at this:
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : domain_not_set.invalid
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.4
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
Now, the fact that I'm double nat'ing could be my problem, but it's not been a problem when I've used older VB on my previous XP SP2 laptop with the same configuration (although I didn't carry the older VM over, so I'm starting fresh with everything).
Thoughts? More configs to throw at you? I'm not totally sure what configs you'll likely want to see. Bear in mind that the only changes I've made from the defaults were:
a) changed my VM RAM allotments
b) changed the size of my VHD from 8GB to 6GB (not going to install much...)
c) attempted using a different virtual NIC on my Ubuntu box after the PCNET didn't work, so I'm using the e1000 at the moment. Hasn't changed things.
