Weird Internet

[andyripper]

I've just got my VB up and running finally, after trying it out and throwing it out for years. I have Linux Tails and Ubuntu set up. I don't erally understand why the networking is such a pain. I have it set up as NAT as I only need to surf the net, and downlod repos thru the terminal. Firefox will not load, giving me server issues, however the Software Center loads fine. Any ideas?? I DO have a USB dongle that used to work with Ubuntu with my computer before I switched to this newer computer. I don't need it any more, but I still have it and am wondering if I need to use it with the expansion pack. I downloaded the expansion pack and am opening it now. If anyone has any comments please give them. I've read thru other threads but I don't see much where one thing works and another doesn't as far as basic network connection.

Moving to Linux guests.

Firefox will not load, giving me server issues, however the Software Center loads fine. Any ideas??

What is the output of the following commands in the guest and the host :

Code: Select all

ping 8.8.8.8
ping google-public-dns-a.google.com

I actually changed my method. I installed the expansion pack, and plugged up a usb dongle for wifi. however, it is still acting really weird. I tried adding a filter for it, but no matter what way I activate it, it responds oddly. what happens is I disable it, or reboot the machine, and I will get a connection and then after about 15 seconds, it disconnects me. then the connection symbol keeps on doing what it does when its trying to connect. it does that for about a minute, then just stops completely. I'm at a loss to what is happening here.
