After much effort and an alternate kernel I get VirtualBox to run. Now I have the problem I have no Internet access in the virtual machine. It shows a network of monitors and even blink. I chosen NAT because otherwise my serverhoster kick me from the network. (No joke) Hope anybody can help me.

Sorry for bad translation I use Google Language Tool because english is not my native language.

Hello,
I am perfectly running Windows XP in a VM on my Ubuntu 8.04 and its great! It both working with a wireless internet connection and with cable connection. I have my VM set to ...

PCnet-FAST |||

NAT

... Thats how i have mine setup and it works for me, hope this helps you.
Tom.

I am using PCnet-FAST ||| but no Internet on Gast.
Maybe the NAT Routing is false.
Can i check the NAT Config with the Terminal ?

If you can connect to http://66.102.9.147/ and you get google then its a DNS issue. If this is the case then have a read of http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=8392

Hmm my IPs are right.
I use DHCP on Gast an it sets the IP right.
Gateway is 10.0.2.2 and DNS is 10.0.2.3 when using NAT
Can i use my Linux PC as DNS ?

Very strange.

Kevin, I asked your one Q and you gave answer to something completely different! What happens when you request you http://66.102.9.147/ in a guest browser?

It works.

Then your Primary DNS server is wrong. If you get all the IP information from your ISP, complain at them for having a faulty DNS server.

Hmm. On my Linux PC DNS are working.

Maybe there is something else running on either the Guest or Host that blocks the Guest DNS lookups.

If you use Windows as Guest, you could try to install the Intel/Pro1000MT driver with that interface set instead of the PCNet adapter. If you have the GA installed, you can use the Shared Folders to get the driver to the Guest.

I have installed the Gast expansion.
I think its include the drivers.

Ok i get the Intel Driver and I have installed it.
But DNS is still not working...

Well in that case, read the b***y topic that I referred you to because it almost certainly explains what your problem is; why it occurs; and how you can fix it. Sometimes, I really do wonder why I answer peoples Qs!

.Should I try this post ?

EDIT:

I have tryed it but still did not work.
Shit crap of DNS...

I have choose the easyest way for me.
sudo synaptic
search BIND
install
DNS IP in Gast = my Linux Host IP
And it works fine.


Ok my 2. question is cleared too.
I can use now 10.0.2.3 as DNS IP.
Simply by install BIND via Synaptic.
