virtualbox won't connect to the internet

Post by Cadosh »

Hello
I think I need a help
I've got virtualbox 4.1.4 r74291 ... I am using backtrack 5 on it
what should I do to get an internet connection with my virtual machine?
P.S 'Virtualbox Host-Only network is connected' .. should I change any settings with that connection or is the problem is with my virtualbox 4.1.4 or is it with my router or my network? :(
regards

By the way I don't think those are the accurate information:

Dont shout, read the user manual.

Its all described. And host only is not the right choice.

I tried to read the user manual, but I didn't understand a thing!
vistualbox host only is the default connection that the virtualbox has given me
how can I change that?

Read the manual, its described. Change it in the vbox guest settings in the vbox gui.

Open the guest settings for the selected guest in the vbox gui.

Where is your problem to select the guest in the vbox gui, open the guest settings, go to network tab and set bridge? The guest must be stopped.
