Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Virtual Machine on VirtualBox not able to use network

  • 772

Hey all, no matter what Network Adapter I use on VirtualBox for my newly setup Ubuntu VM, I cannot get a valid IP when I do ipconfig. All I get is a loopback address. Does anyone know what I would do to fix this and which Network Adapter in VirtualBox I would use to properly connect to my actual PC (host) and the outside world?

Thanks, Darren

    for anyone with the same problem this is how you would do this: change eth0 to eth1 in /etc/network/interfaces, and choose the bridged network.
