Having an IP address is not related to having Internet access. VirtualBox has a built-in DHCP server which is supposed to issue IP addresses to VM guests in this case.

This is not correct , the VM should have been assigned a ip address from the DHCP pool. I have tried it on another VM before and It did assigned me an IP address , But this time I am not sure what I'm missing. Thanks anyway

A Host Only VM does not have Internet access, and only talks to its host. So it should not be part of a general DHCP pool. That would defeat the purpose of a Host Only machine

I amended my answer to illustrate how to connect an isolated Host Only VM to its host

DHCP pool does not required to be an Internet feature , It's a network feature. Anyway , How would you recommend to setup a VM with a internet connection and with a connection to other VMs. Thanks
