Hi,
I have a windows xp host, linux ubuntu guest.
After I updated to 3.2.8 the internet (wired or otherwise) stopped running on my linux host.
On the VM Settings I have the:
- Network Adapter Enabled
- Attached to: Bridged Adapter (Braodcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller).
I am not an expert and am looking for simple steps to follow.
Thanks for you help!

Re: Network Disabled on Linux Ubuntu - Windows Host
The adapter may be enabled, but is the virtual cable still connected (checkbox ticked)? What does 'ifconfig -a' say in the Guest? If you see other interfaces than eth0 and lo, it means that the Guest assigned a new name to it and that is only done when the MAC address of the virtual interface changed. Please verify this.
