I am attempting to create a Nat Network using DHCP as described in a youtube clip.

I am running 64 bit Ubuntu 17.04 as the host and 64 bit Lubuntu as the VM. Virtualbox version is 5.1.18_Ubuntu r114002

I have configured two VM's, both with the Nat Network (FT_Node). FT_Note is configured as 10.11.12.0/24 and DHCP under File->Preferences->Network.

I can ping either VM, but I cannot ping any site on the internet.

Any suggestions as to why either of the two cannot connect to the internet?

Thanks

That's not helpful at all. There are billions of videos on YouTube.

It looks like you're using the distro's fork version of VirtualBox. You can either ask in their forums for help, or completely remove/uninstall/delete/purge their version and install the official version from the Downloads section of VirtualBox (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads).

By the way, what's an "FT_Node"?

Thanks for advice on using VirtualBox from Oracle instead of from the Ubuntu Software Centre.

I could not post the link as I kept getting this message:
"You must be a member for 1 days and have 1 posts before you can post urls."

The Nat network functions as I expect now, pinging to each VM is possible and access to the internet is also available.

Ευχαριστώ

Παρακαλώ!

Glad you got it going. Distro's VirtualBox are quite easier to use (stores, repositories), but they introduce a lot of incompatibilities. And I honestly don't know why their branding/additional goodies break so many things, that's why we always recommend the official versions first.
