Internet Connection on VM

I was having the same problem on Ubuntu 12.10 64bit using Virtualbox 4.2.22. Here are the steps I took to solve my problem:

Open Virtualbox Manager

  • Select the machine you cannot get internet on in the left pane
  • Click the Settings button in the top menu
  • Click Network in the left pane in the settings window
  • Switched to Bridged Adapter in the Attached to drop-down menu
  • Select the name of the network adapter you are currently using on your host machine. I am using wireless so I chose eth0 which is my wireless network adapter. You can check which adapter you are currently using by opening the terminal (CTRL+ALT+T by default) and running ifconfig. It will probably be the eth adapter that shows an inet addr and shows data transfer next to RX bytes.
  • Under Advanced, make sure the machine is using the Desktop Adapter Type
  • Under Advanced, make sure Promiscuous Mode is set to Allow VMs
  • Under Advanced, make sure Cable connected is checked on
  • Hit OK to save your changes
  • Start your VM
