Can't get on internet in Virtual Box!

English Applications

I previously had my Virtual Box install of Ubuntu set to have the Network via “host-Only Adapter”. But recently I needed to get on the internet on that install, so I changed it to “NAT” and restarted. It still cannot get on the internet! How can I fix this?

Some notes:

  1. I have other virtual box installs that CAN get on the internet
  2. This one was able to get on the internet prior to setting it to “host only adapter”

As far as I remember, if the VB host is set to nat, you should configure the virtual machines to use dhcp. If you choose ‘bridged Adapter’ in VB host, you have to set up the network manually in the virtual machines.

I figured it out! I had it set as loopback in “/etc/network/interfaces”
