It appears that you are using the VBox host-only adapter which will not be able to get to the Internet (by design).
If you have a router select bridged, if not then add a second virtual adapter in the guest settings and set it to NAT.

From the hosts terminal/command window type VBoxManage showvminfo <VM Name> --details and post here. Replace <VM Name> with the actual name of the VM. Use " " if the name has a space in it.

Note if the host is Windows you need to be in the directory that has VBoxManage.exe for the command to work.

Thank you for the help with that one.

It was necessary for me to turn on the internet but finally I decided to delete all data and software I already installed and create new VM.

Regards.
