I am not able to get my Ubuntu machine connected to the internet. The host machine (my PC) is a Windows PC, running Windows 10 w an AMD processor it has an ethernet cable plugged in and is working fine ○ Oracle VM VirtualBox has a Ubuntu OS machine in it Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Some of the settings are:

  • Oracle VM VirtualBox> Machine> Settings> Network> Adapter 1> Attached to: NAT

  • on the Ubuntu I see "Cable unplugged" at

    Settings> Wired> "Cable unplugged"

on Ubuntu machine I did ifconfig. then tried to set the IP based in a stack post I saw:

I notice that in other posts, ifconfig returns an IP address for the Ubuntu box. I don't even have that.

How can I get the Ubuntu box connected to the internet? Thanks.

    Try Bridged Network in Virtual Box to see if Ubuntu gets internet via a Bridged connection. I have Ubuntu 18.04 as a VMware Workstation guest (not your setup) and it gets internet just fine.

I faced the same issue. Try dhclient in the console/terminal which will dynamically allocate an IP for you. To validate ip has been assigned for you guest os, execute ifconfig again
