NAT Network with Oracle Linux guest not working

Post by wayguk »

Hello,

Can anyone offer steps to resolve my issue with Oracle Linux vm?
I would like to give it access to the internet, but it is not working.
I have 2 virtual nics, one for eth0 (host only) and eth1 for NAT.
I would welcome any suggestions from scratch please?

Off-hand guess, not a Linux guy here, maybe Linux may need to know which network adapter to look for the internet on? Is there some config file which should say use eth1 for internet?

I would also try switching the adapters in Virtualbox. eth0 = NAT, eth1 = host-only.

A further thought, did you change the network card presented to the guest OS from the default card? If so does the OS have drivers for it?
