virtual networking IPv4 address

Post by essam »

I'm running Ubuntu Cloud Server in VirtualBox. When I select the Bridge adapter network option to be attached for the network .with starting up the VM, I only get IPv6 address. I need an IPv4 address as well.
My host (running Windows 7) gets has both an IPv4 and IPv6 address listed when I run ipconfig. When I run ifconfig on the guest (running Ubuntu Server), it only lists IPv6. How can I fix this?

Manually configure the server for both. see /etc/network/interfaces and add the proper information.
