Heya guys,

Last resort, so hopefully someone has past experience with this. Im currently running Saline Linux and have virtual-box installed which contains two guests, backtrack and windows 7. Saline is connecting to the internet via mobile broadband connection.

Backtrack is fine, but its Windows 7 thats giving me the run around, it wont connect to the web. I've tried googling for the last hour and a half but nothing will fix it. I've tried NAT, bridged, etc. Still nothing. fail fail fail :S #facepalm

Anyone got any ideas ? Would be great if you did, thanks in advance!

Omen... can you provide a little more information?? AS is, can you ping between the Windows 7 VM and anything else on the network? If BT is working, I would configure the Windows 7 VM like it (If BT is briged, bridge the 7 VM). I would suggest working on local network connectivity first, then internet should fall into place.

I'd start with nat. Then I'd look at windows hardware settings for nic and also be sure to put in correct dns ip's.

Command ipconfig /all may be a good start in windows.

All of the data needed to fix it would be a windows issue since you have a vm that works.

Hi Omen,

another good idea could be to run a small router-system (like monowall, IPCop or alike) as a virtual machine; that is:
to make internet-connection work under monowall once and then use the internal connections of monowall like a normal LAN from view of the guests.
virtualbox provides up to 4 network interfaces per virtual machine, so monowall could connect via one nic to the host/internet via NAT and could provide up to three seperate internal interfaces to be used on different 'internal' virtualbox-network-names.

But in any case: as jefro wrote:
check first on the machine in question its IP-conifguration including defaultgateway and primary dns-address.
