Ubuntu – 12.04 on VirtualBox -No internet access on Guest OS

12.04internetnetworkingvirtualboxvirtualization

I have Windows 7 as my Host OS which has wired Ethernet working. My guest OS on VirtualBox is Ubuntu 12.04. The problem is that I cannot browse.

I have:

  1. Enabled sharing on Windows;
  2. Have used NAT, Bridged Adapter etc ( all possible combinations);
  3. With NAT, used PCnet-FAST II (Am79c973) combination.

Ubuntu says "connected to wired ethernet1" but I cannot access websites.

VirtualBox Host-Only Network in the Network and Sharing center shows that I don't have IPV4 and IPV6 connectivity.

Meaning I don't have DHCP configured.
Strangely I have DNS address correct in the Ubuntu properties.
