VirtualBox Internet
Linux Mint Host
Virtual Box Windows XP Guest well I had internet at first then something BAD happened and I had to reinstall the Linux OS :eek: I installed VBox again & attached the backup VDI's now when I run WinXP there is NO INTERNET :confused: I remember seeing something in Linux Network Connections - a bridge but I never looked at it closely since the re-install that bridge is no longer there the bridge was installed by VBox or when the WinXP driver was installed I suspect the VBox Guest Add did the bridging I assume that is what is causing my connection issue VBox network was set to NAT so my question is what do I bridge to in Linux? :Pengy: here is what I have in WinXP Guest Code:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] |
Appears to be NAT (that isn't bad as such)
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.2.3 Think this should be either your local router or a public dns server maybe?? ?? |
check your virtualbox settings for the VM in question. Look on the networking tab, and make sure the specified network interface is still present. Might not be the same name since you reinstalled your linux host system.

continuing this on the virtualbox forum
https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewto...88958&p=426462 basically the networks were not ON in vbox prefs I turned ON but still no NAT or Internet It was working until that BAD happened & I had to re-install Linux Mint there was that bridgded connection I noticed in Mint's 'nm-connection-editor' like I said I never noticed what it bridged I will post synopsis of final results here |

It could be due to how your host is configured or if you are using a VPN or a proxy or maybe even dnsmsaq. Did you reinstall the same version of Mint? A quick search shows this is not a unique problem although the cause might be. The following command might fix the problem. To use the host's DNS resolver try the command VBoxManage modifyvm "VM name" --natdnshostresolver1 on https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#nat-adv-dns VirtualBox has several types of networking modes. NAT being the default. https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html |
did not help:
VBoxManage modifyvm "VM name" --natdnshostresolver1 on I know, I've read the manual & can't get anything working right. Linux Mint the 10.0.2.15 does not appear at all as it does in VBox WinXP like I said the original installation had a bridged connection in Linux and YES, this is the identical installation as before except for using the old VBox VDI's Installing VBox Guest Additions -- or the WinXP Intel(R) PRO/1000 MT Desktop Adapter driver -- or something else setup a bridged connection in Linux, I would like to know what it was Code:
netstat -i Windows XP NAT limited of no conectivity Host Only does not work either Code:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] MY GOD I HATE NETWORKS! I went through this with Win98, then WinXP, & now Linux & WinXP again... I deserve a PhD for this! Or at least a Bachelor Degree. |
Basically bridged mode connects the guest directly on the LAN. It gets an IP address from the LAN and other computers can directly connect to it.
With NAT mode the guest is behind a virtual router. The guest IP address are assigned as previously posted. It basically works like a physical router. Host-only creates a virtual network where guests can only connect between themselves and the host. After rereading your thread I don't know if you ever really explained your problem. What do you mean by you can't get anything to work? |
Got that working.
What Internet that works with WinXP anymore. Don't really know what I did... The BIG Problem was VBox -> File -> Preferences -> Network -> nothing was there, had to add networks And only use NAT in the virtual device. Things are working now... I HATE NETWORKS! On to more Linux Problems... |
