I have Ubuntu 11.10 in Virtual Box installed on Windows Vista. I am having a Broadband(PPPoE) internet connection. I would like to use my internet connection inside Virtual Box in Ubuntu.
I tried with NAT but it couldn't connect. Then I tried Bridged Network, but still it is not connecting!!
Where am I going wrong?

Click OK twice. Your network should work fine.

Then from inside the virtualized Ubuntu, you must connect to wired network, it should work.
You need to have installed the Guest Additions for this to work properly.
